Ingredients
- 2 cups tortilla chips
- 1 cup corn, cooked
- 1/4 cup cilantro, chopped
- 1/4 cup dairy-free cheese
- 1 tablespoon lime juice
- 1 teaspoon chili powder
- Salt to taste
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). This will ensure that your nachos are baked evenly and become crispy.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the cooked corn, chopped cilantro, lime juice, chili powder, and salt. Stir well to ensure that all the ingredients are evenly mixed. This mixture will add a fresh and zesty flavor to your nachos.
- On a large baking sheet, spread out the tortilla chips in an even layer. Make sure to cover the sheet without overlapping the chips too much to allow for even cooking.
- Evenly distribute the corn mixture over the tortilla chips. Ensure that each chip gets a good amount of the corn and cilantro mix for maximum flavor.
- Sprinkle the dairy-free cheese over the top of the nachos. Feel free to add more or less cheese according to your preference.
- Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 10-15 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly. Keep an eye on the nachos to prevent them from burning.
- Once the nachos are done baking, remove them from the oven and let them cool for a couple of minutes. This will help the cheese set slightly and make them easier to serve.
- Serve the nachos warm, garnished with additional chopped cilantro and a squeeze of lime if desired. Enjoy your Dairy Free Mexican Street Corn Nachos!
Tips
- Choose Quality Tortilla Chips: Opt for thick, sturdy tortilla chips to hold up against the toppings. Look for brands that are made with simple ingredients for the best flavor.
- Customize Your Corn Mixture: Feel free to add additional ingredients to the corn mixture, such as diced jalapeños for heat or avocado for creaminess. The more flavors, the better!
- Layer Wisely: For an even distribution of flavors, consider layering half of the corn mixture and cheese, then adding another layer of chips, followed by the remaining toppings. This ensures every bite is packed with goodness.
- Watch the Oven: Keep a close eye on your nachos while they bake. Ovens can vary, so check for that perfect melty cheese around the 10-minute mark to avoid burning.
- Garnish for Extra Flavor: After baking, don’t skip the garnish! Fresh cilantro and a squeeze of lime juice will brighten the dish and enhance its flavors, making your nachos even more irresistible.
