Frequently Asked Questions
Absolutely! As long as you choose a gluten-free chip (corn rather than flour), you’re good to go!
Some of my favorite toppings to include are tomatoes, peppers, onions, jalapeños, cilantro, sour cream, salsa, avocado, and a protein! My advice is to mix-and-match these toppings to create your perfect blend of flavor!
You should keep an eye on your nachos when they’re in the oven. We recommend taking them out of the oven when the chips are golden brown and these is fully melted. In our experience, 10 minutes tends to do the trick, but that can change depending on how big your tray is.
