    Easy Healthy Grain-Free Nachos

    Sheet pan of nachos with peppers and guacamole.

    You know that saying, “you’re never fully dressed without a smile”? I’m thinking nachos aren’t fully dressed without guac and queso, do we agree?? I’m talking a pile of guacamole in the center and nacho cheese splattered all over the place. Those are the type of nachos I am talking about.

    There is something about finding the perfect chip among the bunch. Equal parts peppers, chicken, guac, and queso. There are only a few of these in the pile so you have to grab them pretty quick. Let’s just say sharing a platter of nachos can really test a friendship. I recommend that you avoid it when possible.

    So now let’s talk chips because I know what you’re thinking…’Ansley, aren’t you like a (self-proclaimed) super hard core health foodie… Why are you telling me to eat tortilla chips?’ First, yes, yes I am. Second, these chips are grain-free, paleo-friendly, and baked with coconut oil. I am an advocate for the ‘all foods fit’ mentality.

    However, when it comes to chips, there are some amazing health-ier chips on the market that are super delicious. Don’t have these chips I speak of? No problemo, these grain-free nachos would be PERFECT on top of a bed of cut up sweet potato fries ????. Simply make them yourself or buy a frozen bag of sweet potato fries and voila, sweet potato nachos coming right up!

    Description

    In queso you didn’t know, these nachos are healthy and grain-free and LOADED with all the good stuff. These sheet pan chicken nachos are the perfect protein-rich dish to share with friends (just be sure to grab the good chips before everyone else).


    Ingredients

    Scale
    • 1 ½ Tbsp coconut oil
    • 2 chicken breasts (approx 10 oz.)
    • 2 tsp paprika
    • 1 bag Siete Grain-Free Tortilla Chips (substitute 1 sweet potato cut up into fries)
    • ½ red bell pepper
    • ½ green bell pepper
    • 1 jalapeño
    • 1 shallot
    • 2 avocados
    • 1 Tbsp lime juice (optional)
    • ½ cup Siete Cashew Dairy-Free Nacho Cheese
    • ¼ cup cilantro (chopped, optional)
    • ¼ tsp sea salt

    Instructions

    1. Heat 1 tablespoon coconut oil in skillet
    2. Sprinkle paprika over chicken breasts and cook in skillet for approx. 3 mins each side until thoroughly cooked
    3. While chicken is cooking, spread chips out flat on a baking sheet or serving tray
    4. Heat ½ tablespoon coconut oil in separate skillet
    5. Cut up ½ both red and green bell peppers and jalapeno into strips, dice shallot, and saute in skillet until tender
    6. Mash 1 avocado in bowl and add lime juice if using
    7. Cut the other avocado into thin slices
    8. Pull chicken (or cut into strips) and layer on top of baking sheet with chips
    9. Sprinkle peppers, jalapeño pepper, and shallot over top
    10. Scoop mashed avocado into center or tray and sprinkle the avocado slices evenly
    11. Heat cashew nacho cheese according to directions on jar and drizzle over top of chips
    12. Sprinkle chopped cilantro and sea salt

    Notes

    Note 1 :  If serving for a crowd, wait until you are ready to eat to layer on the toppings over chips

    Note 2 :  If you want super crispy nachos, bake the tray in a oven at 350 F for about 3 mins with all the toppings

    Note 3: Ground beef also pairs well with this recipe in place of chicken (or, in addition to, if you want SUPER loaded nachos).
