Game Day Nachos

It’s the Super Bowl this Sunday, it’s hard to believe that last year’s Super Bowl was one of the last group gatherings we’d attend for more than a year. It goes without saying that watching Super Bowl LV is going to be a more intimate affair, but just because we’re foregoing the party, doesn’t mean we need to forego flavour.

As such, I invite you to serve up a platter of these Game Day Nachos, otherwise known as everything-but-the-kitchen-sink nachos.

This post is sponsored by Fresh From Florida.

Buying local is always the best option, but during the colder months much of the produce we want and need for a healthy, balanced diet is imported. Florida has more than 47,000 farmers who follow exceptionally strict food safety rules – farming fruit and vegetables that are both delicious and safe.

So, when local produce is unavailable, seek out produce from Florida – like the grape tomatoes, green bell peppers, sweet corn, and lettuce used in these nachos!

I’ve put together this fun cooking video that provides a step-by-step walkthrough of how to make this quick and easy recipe, you can watch it here:

Don’t skimp on the toppings on this dish, really commit – use up the full portion of each ingredient so every bite is packed with flavour.

The avocado lime crema is a delightful dip and will likely leave you with leftovers – great for dipping crudités or a second plate of nachos. If you want a thinner consistency, add more lime juice.

Serve with a side of your favourite salsa or make your own pico de gallo from scratch! I hope you enjoy Super Bowl LV and happy snacking!
