Aaron's Famous Vegetarian Nachos

Aaron's Famous Vegetarian Nachos

These vegetarian nachos are very satisfying and crave-worthy. I can eat them once a week. You can add whatever toppings you like, but this recipe with refried beans, jalape?o salsa, and pepper Jack cheese is our favorite. Also good topped with sliced pepperoncini or diced jalape?o.

Ingredients

  • 2 (15 ounce) cans fat-free refried beans

Step 2

Step 3

Step 4
Cook under the preheated broiler until cheese is melted, 3 to 5 minutes. Garnish with lettuce and olives.

Tips

If we don't have canned salsa, my husband (the recipe creator) uses juice from the jar of the pepperoncinis or jalape?os.
