Vegetarian BBQ Nachos

These Vegetarian BBQ Nachos are loaded with a sweet and spicy bbq mixture made from meatless crumbles, corn, and onion and topped with an easy homemade queso sauce. Not only do they taste fabulous, but they will satisfy any cravings you have for barbecue without any meat being involved.

My daughter became vegetarian over a year ago and I think one of the foods she misses the most is barbecue. But now she has this recipe to help her get her barbecue fix.

We were grocery shopping and she expressed a desire to make BBQ Nachos. I suggested she use some “meatless” crumbles and she totally came up with the rest. When I tasted the finished product, I was blown away. It is delicious! So much so, I talked her into making it for me for lunch two other days that week.

First she sautes the “meat”, corn, and onion in a nonstick skillet. Once the onion has softened, she adds bbq sauce. She keeps it warm while she makes a quick queso sauce using a roux, milk, and shredded Monterey Jack cheese. Some salsa, cilantro, and jalapeno peppers finish off the nachos.

These nachos are a little sweet and spicy from the bbq sauce and packed with tons of flavor. As with any nacho recipe,you can tailor it to suit your tastes. Use your favorite bbq sauce and try adding different ingredients like black beans, sour cream, or guacamole. A drizzle of Ranch dressing would be fabulous too.

Vegetarian BBQ Nachos are ready in a flash and are a taste sensation not just for vegetarians, but any nacho lover.
