It’s Nacho Mama’s – Punch Bowl Social
When it comes to nachos, it’s often that vegetarians get left out a bit. For you, there’s Punch Bowl Social’s “It’s Nacho Mama’s” nachos, which replaces the traditional beef or chicken protein with roasting cauliflower. You still get the delicious toppings, like queso fundido, fresh jalapeno, pickled red onion, jalapeno crema and cilantro.

Mt. Nacheesmo Challenge – Tio’s Mexican Cafe
While the nachos you’ll unbury in Tio’s Mexican Cafe’s Mt. Nacheesmo Challenge are more traditional in terms of toppings, this challenge is one to reckon with. Meant to serve 4-5 adults, this five-pound platter is filled with beans, beef, chicken, pork, Monterey jack and cheddar cheese, tomatoes, onions, green peppers, black olives, sour cream, guacamole and creamy queso. Those seeking to take on the challenge must eat the entire plate by themselves in 45 minutes or less. Winners will receive the nachos for free, a t-shirt and their name on the Mt. Nacheesmo wall. Losers must pay the normal cost of the nachos ($50).
