Vegetarian Super Nachos with refried beans and fresh, raw zucchini, peppers and tomatoes. Add your favorite guacamole, salsa and sour cream. A yummy thrifty, 30 minute meatless Monday harvest dinner. Lay it all out on a baking sheet. Pop it in the oven. Eat! It’s so good!
This recipe is one I always make impromptu when I need a fast meal. I finally remembered to take some photos of this super nacho dinner before Dave and I devoured it.
This is one of my easiest ‘Go To’ dinners. Perfect for the days I just don’t want to cook. It’s especially handy for using up extra zucchini. I have a LOT of zucchini right now so here we are! This recipe is so versatile. Use what you have on hand.
We had a busy day focused on picking and freezing blackberries and garden work. We harvested the zucchini and tomatoes you see today. Our peppers are so late you won’t be seeing them for at LEAST another month. Might be christmas peppers this year. So this is a store bought pepper.
I am using canned refried beans because this all needed to happen on the fly. I’m Not interested in any more kitchen time today. This is the perfect fast method dinner. But if you WANT to make homemade Refried Beans. They are delicious and so worth the trouble. You won’t find flavor like that in a can. Same goes with homemade Flour tortillas by the way. A little extra time but a HUGE improvement in flavor…
This recipe is literally the Easiest dinner recipe I have. MAYBE 30 minutes to make this meal if you are a SLOW chopper… And decide you are artfully building a piano on your baking sheet… you might stretch it that far. If you do what I do and throw it all together it’s more like a 20 minute dinner.
These Vegetarian Super Nachos make great movie night snacks too. Just set it all up on a coffee table with paper plates. Good eats! We just watched Guardians of the Galaxy. If you’re looking for a kinda dumb but fun Marvel movie this is a good one. I love Groot. Rocket Racoon is pretty cool too.

Vegetarian Super Nachos Recipe:
I am NOT using an avocado. But I HIGHLY recommend you do (and will put it in the recipe card). I happened to be out of them. But we also live where avocados are rarely very good. We get the icky ones out of the store here. They are usually VERY green and hard and just rot instead of ripen correctly. Every summer I try fresh avocados with the same result. If you live where avocados grow well and can get good ones out of the store Please do use them. I envy you just a bit!
I LOVE baked super nachos on a baking sheet like this. The tortilla chips taste great crunchy. But, the cheese gets a bit crispy. So I add more cheese over the top after baking to melt it on just right.
If you want your nachos really melty make this recipe on a microwaveable plate and set it the microwave 30 seconds. Then check it and heat it up to your liking. That is a whole different kind of texture. You may prefer it. And the microwave saves you 8 more minutes. I like the crunchy baked texture personally.

Layer on a cookie sheet:
