Nachoooooos! Who’s ready for some messy, all hand in, nacho-eating? Straight from the good ‘ole skillet, loaded with ALL the veggies, black beans, salsa, a killer homemade vegan cheese sauce, and the star of the show…PLANTAIN CHIPS! At first glance you could almost mistake those crunchy yellow chips for your typical corn tortilla chips, but no! These babies are grain-free and bring a little something extra to the nacho-eating experience!

Nachos are meant to be eaten with your hands (which is a recurring theme with almost all Mexican food) and while you can eat these plantain nachos with your hands…you may need a fork (at times). Regardless, nachos are just a fun meal to make. From appetizer, snack, lunch, or a main dish for dinner, depending on the toppings and such, nachos can fit any meal (even breakfast or dessert!)

I guess these plantain nachos have a “Caribbean” flare since, you know…plantains. So a little Mexican fusion is happening (I tend to do that), but we’re keeping pretty classic with the toppings for these! I made that killer POTATO-based nacho cheese sauce to just pour over these before you bake the whole skillet in the oven! The other goods include, black beans, corn, tomatoes, portobello mushrooms, scallions, cilantro, garlic, a little lime, and some salsa! A perfect gluten-free meatless meal for when you’re feeling a bit lazy, a bit like getting your hands dirty, but still want a big dose of health and plant-based dairy-free goodness!

I was never a big nacho eater, back in the day. The only times I remember eating nachos or the places where I associate nacho-eating would be crappy sports events (like my brother’s little league baseball games) or Margaritaville in Myrtle Beach, South Caroline. The sports events nachos would be the ones with stale white corn chips in a cardboard basket with lukewarm, thick cheese goo from those pump machines. The nachos I had (one time) at Margaritaville were like 50x more legit (they are really great with celiac disease, by the way). The “Volcano Nachos” they were called; “Tortilla chips layered with chili, cheese, pico de gallo, fresh guacamole, sour cream and jalapeños” and these chips were tri-colored corn chip strips if I recall correctly. Killer!

So to make up for my lack of nacho-eating, good nacho-eating, and to keep things gluten-free, dairy-free, egg-free, soy-free, nut-free, vegan, for present day nacho-eating, these skillet plantain nachos do the trick rather well. This nacho skillet bake serves 4 people for a nice hearty dinner or can be served as an appetizer/game-day kinda party food for 6-8 people to have a little, messy taste! Nachos should be shared (I feel like that’s part of the experience), unless that is, you make a baby batch on bake it in one of these!

    Hmm…this might be something I need to introduce the kids to. They haven’t eaten plantains, so this would be a good way to have a bit of familiarity when introducing something new. I’m sure they would love this since they love nachos.

    We love nachos and have recently been trying to eat more gluten free so we were pretty excited to find your recipe. It looks delicious (it’s Nachos – right), but seriously I love how you have loaded it up with such nutritious ingredients.

    22 years ago when my youngest son was just a baby, he could not have gluten. I could not find gluten free recipes then. He can tolerate it now. But thank you for posting this. It looks so good.
