Ingredients
- 8 ounces Unsalted tortilla chips
- 8 ounces Low-sodium cheddar cheese
- 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 2 tablespoons All-purpose flour
- 1 cup Low-sodium vegetable broth
- 0.25 teaspoon Ground black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 2 whole Ripe avocados
- 1 tablespoon Lime juice
- 2 tablespoons Fresh cilantro, chopped
- 0.5 cup Cherry tomatoes, diced
- 0.25 cup Red onion, finely diced
- 1 small Jalapeño, minced (optional)
Directions
Step 1
Start by preparing the guacamole. Slice the avocados in half lengthwise, remove the pit, and scoop the flesh into a mixing bowl.
Step 2
Add lime juice, chopped cilantro, diced cherry tomatoes, diced red onion, and minced jalapeño (if using) into the bowl.
Step 3
Mash the ingredients together using a fork or potato masher until you reach your desired texture. Set aside covered to keep from browning.
Step 4
To make the cheese sauce, grate the low-sodium cheddar cheese and set aside.
Step 5
In a medium saucepan, melt the unsalted butter over medium heat. Once melted, add the flour, stirring continuously to form a roux, cooking for about 1 minute.
Step 6
Slowly add the low-sodium vegetable broth to the roux, whisking constantly to avoid lumps. Continue cooking until the mixture thickens, about 3-4 minutes.
Step 7
Add grated cheese to the saucepan, stirring until fully melted and smooth. Season with ground black pepper and garlic powder.
Step 8
Spread the unsalted tortilla chips evenly on a baking sheet or a large serving platter.
Step 9
Pour the warm cheese sauce over the tortilla chips evenly.
Step 10
Top the nachos with freshly made guacamole, serving any additional guacamole on the side.
Step 11
Serve immediately and enjoy your low sodium nachos!
