Loaded Veggie Nachos

It's time for the biggest professional football game of the year. Whether your favorite team made it to the finale or not, you'll probably be watching. Sometimes the game is great and sometimes not so much but it does create a great opportunity to get together with family and friends and indulge in some wonderful food and drinks. After over a month or trying to stick with those New Year's resolutions we've made, we're ready for a cheat day.

Here's a recipe to kick-off the day that will please people trying to incorporate more vegetables into their diets. There is no meat in this delicious nacho platter but it's very satisfying. You can kick it up by topping it with a spoonful of salsa or cool it down with a dollop of sour cream. This is also a dish you can play with by adding more of what you like or taking away ingredients you can do without.

The homemade tortilla chips add a nice touch but you could certainly use store bought if you prefer.
