FAQS
How can I customize my BYOB (Build Your Own Bowl) Viral Chips for dietary restrictions?
To customize your BYOB chips bowl for dietary restrictions, consider using gluten-free chips like corn tortilla chips for those with gluten sensitivities. For a vegan option, skip the cheese and use plant-based toppings like guacamole, salsa, and black beans. You can also replace sour cream with a dairy-free alternative.
What are some good substitutions for the toppings in the BYOB chips bowl?
If you don't have certain toppings on hand, you can easily substitute them. For example, if you don't have shredded chicken, try using cooked lentils or chickpeas for a protein boost. Instead of nacho cheese sauce, you can use melted vegan cheese or a homemade cheese sauce made from cashews. Feel free to mix and match based on your preferences!
How should I store leftover BYOB chips bowl ingredients?
To store leftover ingredients from your BYOB chips bowl, keep the chips in an airtight container to maintain their crunch. Store any leftover toppings like shredded cheese, proteins, and veggies in separate containers in the refrigerator. Most toppings can be kept for 3-4 days, but be sure to check for freshness before using them again.
What are some great pairings for the BYOB chips bowl to make it a complete meal?
To make your BYOB chips bowl a complete meal, consider pairing it with a side salad or a refreshing fruit salad. You can also serve it alongside a protein-rich dish like grilled chicken or shrimp skewers. For a fun twist, add a side of spicy jalapeño poppers or stuffed peppers to complement the flavors of your chips bowl.
Can I prepare the BYOB chips bowl in advance for a party?
Yes, you can prepare components of the BYOB chips bowl in advance for a party! Pre-chop your veggies, cook your proteins, and prepare sauces a day ahead. Just keep everything stored separately in the fridge. When it's time to serve, simply arrange the chips and toppings on a large table for guests to build their own bowls!
