Buffalo Wild Wings Ultimate Nachos Copycat

One of our favorite things to do during football season is to go to Buffalo Wild Wings to watch all of the Sunday games and my absolute favorite thing to eat there is the Ultimate Nachos! I decided to make a copycat recipe for the Superbowl that is (slightly) healthier and it turned out even better than the original!

I know this is not a Pinterest-worthy photo, but it is a 10/10!

Ingredients

• 1 Bag of your Fav Corn Tortilla Chips
• Homemade Pico De Gallo (Recipe Below)
• Homemade Gluten Free Nacho Cheese Sauce (Recipe Below)
• Homemade Mini Guac (Recipe Below)
• 1 Can Amy’s Organic Medium Chili (I like this one because it has tofu bits that mimic the ground beef in the BWW nachos)
• 2 Cups of Iceberg Lettuce (Chopped)
• Your Fav Medium Salsa

Directions:

1. Make your homemade pico de gallo (below), refrigerate.
2. Make your homemade mini guac (below), refrigerate. Steps 1 and 2 can be done simultaneously, since the ingredients are largely the same.
3. While you are at your cutting board, chop the iceberg lettuce.
4. Make your homemade gluten free nacho cheese sauce (below). While the cheese sauce is cooking, heat up the can of chili in a saucepan on the stove.
5. Heat your oven to 250 degrees. Empty the bag of tortilla chips into a large baking pan and heat in the oven for 10 minutes.
6. Assemble your nachos! Start with a layer of chips and then add the cheese sauce, chili, pico de gallo, lettuce, medium salsa, and guac in quantities to your liking. Enjoy!
