Nachos get a makeover with my 6 Ingredient Sheet Pan Vegetarian nachos recipe!
Hi guys!
If you’ve been around Running in a Skirt for any time you know I’m a football fan. I went to the University of Florida and Gator Nation is in my blood. Our house also follows the Steelers for pro-ball because the Hubs grew up in Pittsburgh. So it’s safe to assume that at some point on most weekends in the fall I’m watching some sort of football game. These days that often means recording them and watching them later in the evening. Life is a lot busier than it used to be.
6 Ingredient Easy Vegetarian Nachos
Perfect for Game Day! 6 Ingredient Easy Vegetarian Nachos #vegetarian #gameday Click To TweetWe’re not crazy about it or anything, but the Hubs and I do enjoy a good football evening… which of course has to come with game day snacks. My favorite recipe to make during a game are my famous Easy Vegetarian Nachos recipe! They are a go-to because it only involved 6 ingredients! It’s like a foodie touchdown. 🙂
No… this isn’t a “healthy” recipe… but it sure is good! While there are still plenty of indulgences on this pan, I do make my nachos a bit better for you by trading meat for black beans, using lower fat cheese and plain greek yogurt instead of sour cream.
Beyond that though… I’m a firm believer in moderation in life and these nachos just make game day better. Don’t ya just want to take a bite!?
My trick to keeping these really tasty yet easy to prepare is buying a few already made ingredients. The biggest trick is buying store bought fresh pico de gallo in the produce department… the one with the tomatoes and onions already chopped up. It gives the nachos tons of flavor without alot of work.
Sometimes I’ll make my own guacamole but if I’m really busy, which is often the case this time of year, I don’t feel guilty about picking up store bought guac either. There is no shame in taking a shortcut sometimes.
All you do is layer the chips with the beans, pico de gallo, jalapenos and cheese!
You bake them on a foil lined sheet pan for easy clean up. Serve them like this or drag the foil onto a serving tray if you are worried about touching the hot pan.
Either way this sweet football treat is bound to become a favorite of yours as well!
I’ve been making these nachos for years and this was actually one of the first recipes I published on Running in a Skirt in early 2013. Sadly it was one of those that was in desperate need of a makeover, which it just recently got. I hope you’ll get a chance to make these on game day and enjoy them as much as we do.

Those are excellent we have enjoyed them immensely,LOVE LOVE LOVE.
[…] I mentioned last week, watching the games is fun, but the real joy for me lies in having a great game day spread. Whether […]
I could live off Mexican food and pizza, ok and sourdough I guess too (not counting my coffee and wine here). These are perfect for Meatless Monday, taco Tuesday, or a quick weeknight meal any night. Thank you for linking up for Meatless Monday and sharing your creation!
Oooh yum. Now I want nachos for my second lunch 😛
These look absolutely delicious! I love nachos and find them to be such a great way to add veggies to your meal.
I could live off of guacamole and salsa and pizza lol
haha! Me tooooo
The fresh pico de gallo is always the best! Our family absolutely loves nachos, and I love the idea of doing them vegetarian. 🙂
Thanks Emily!
Nachos are my weakness. I love them on any occasion. I always try to eat them after a long run so I feel less guilty about it.
Me too! Love them.
Nachos are the best game day snack! I love piling a bunch of ingredients on and then enjoying them. Such a simple and classic snack which you can never go wrong with.
So good! Thanks Maureen!
We LOVE some football and all the yummy food here. I always forget about making nachos though, they’re a classic football entree or app! And love the idea of putting the foil down on the pan, easy clean up!
I’m all about easy clean up!
My husband and I are also big Steeler fans and both grew up near Pittsburgh. We have lived in NC for 5 yrs now. Too bad they didnt make the super bowl this year!
I know!!! It was such a messy season! My husband is still a little upset about the last time they were in the Super Bowl a couple years ago- ouch!
Notre Dame is gonna win Julie. I’m from the North (New England to be exact) so i’m pulling for the Irish. btw since u are a College Football fan like I am (and btw I pull for the Florida State Seminoles) got a website u need to check out. it’s mattsarzsports.com he has the most up to date College Football and Men’s College Basketball TV listings anywhere around.
Alabama:) I’m from the south and have to pull for the south and besides that… ‘Broadway Joe’ went to ‘Bama !!!
Alabama. My wife and I always chuckle when you where a red top with a houndstooth skirt. We say you look like you’re headed to Tuscaloosa …
I like Notre Dame. No names on their jerseys and no brownie points on their helmets. The players are all part of a team and super stars are not allowed. I was taught by the Holy Cross Brothers of Notre Dame so it is in my DNA to root for the Irish. Natchos help a lot….
Not a sports fan Julie but I go for Notre Dame and Nachos
I just bought the stuff to make some this morning my self LOL
Alabama–there’s a soft spot in my Bulldog heart for Kirby Smart-former UGa player!
Gotta go with Alabama (even though they beat my beloved Dawgs). Love the Nachos. We’ll be watching football and maybe eating Nachos after meeting our brand new governor!
Both ND AND Nathos!
Alabama. This is the South. Pulling for Notre Dame would be like putting sugar on grits instead of salt, pepper and butter. By the grace of God and the spirit of Bear Bryant (may he rest in peace), Alabama will win this thing.
Alabama all the way!!!! I lived in Alabama for a while growing up and my son has loved them since he first started to walk. Go Bama!
