These delicious, chili nachos are perfect for game night or any night when you’re in the mood to chow down!!

There’s just something about nachos that resonates with my soul.

I have to admit that skipping the dairy (I’m allergic) on this was tough. I missed the cheese. Just a little bit. But once I got passed it, I swear they were just as good… no, better, than any nachos I could order in a restaurant! Cheese or no cheese, I know you’re going to love them too!

Course: Appetizer, Main Course
Cuisine: Mexican
Prep Time: 20 minutes
Cook Time: 40 minutes
Total Time: 1 hour
Servings: 10 servings (approximate)

Ingredients

  • 1 batch clean eating turkey chili (see recipe link above)
  • 1 bag clean tortilla chips (see link above to make homemade – corn chips work too)
  • 1 ½ cups shredded cheddar cheese (shred yourself, the pre-shredded stuff isn’t clean)
  • ½ lb. cherry tomatoes (halved)
  • 4 cups chopped avocado
  • 1 ½ cups fresh, chopped cilantro
  • 1 tsp. cayenne (optional)

Instructions

  • Make the chili according to the recipe.
  • Stir in the cayenne if you like a spicier chili.
  • When it’s done, you can take the optional step of using a hand blender to blend up the chili. It takes on more of a “chili-cheese” consistency that way. But it’s not necessary.
  • Pour a cup of chili over some corn chips and top with tomatoes, avocado and plenty of fresh cilantro!

  1. I have seen two posts that talked about a new almond cheese. I have not tried it but maybe it would be a good addition to your recipe. Here is website for products but I’m not sure which stores sell it. http://lisanattifoods.com/

      Caron – Thanks! I’ve been thinking of trying to make my own. But I’ll look for this too.

  2. i love to top mine with fresh Spicy things like Jalapenos….and of course Cheese.

    1. The Gracious Pantry says:

      Michelle – Jalapenos are yummy!

  3. I love to top mine with natural yogurt, shallots, tomatoes, cucumber and a little cheese!

    1. The Gracious Pantry says:

      Natasha – I’ve never tried shallots or cucumbers, but that sounds amazing! Thanks for sharing that!

  4. this chili would be awesome on a burger! Clean turkey pattie on a ww (whole wheat) bun w/all the tasty veggie toppings. Yum!

    1. The Gracious Pantry says:

      Julie – Yes! In fact, I did that very thing just the other day. It was delicious!

    Sarah – You can make your own if you can’t find them in the store. I get mine at Trader Joe’s. It’s their organic brand round corn chips.

  6. The corn tortillas I purchase regularly have calcium hydroxide, which I read is hydrated lime?…is that considered clean? PS: Your site has changed my life!

    1. graciouspantry says:

      Nikki – Awww, thanks so much!

      Calcium Hydroxide is not clean. Clean corn tortillas are very difficult to locate. But don’t give up. They ARE out there!
