Nachos have a great deal going on - yet it's constantly justified, despite all the trouble at last! Make this for yourself and somebody exceptional or twofold the formula for a bigger gathering. Nachos make for incredible hors d'oeuvres or a side dish in little parts, or make a feast out of it and serve an entire plate worth of nachos! In any case, you can't turn out badly.

- 1 bag of Tortilla chips (or you can make these oil free homemade tortilla chips).
- Homemade sundried tomato walnut taco meat or your favorite store-bought vegan meat alternative such as Gardein Meatless Ground Beef Crumbles – but keep in mind store bought varieties usually include sugar and oils. Homemade is best.
- Simple Pico De Gallo (a handful of cilantro, 1-2 tomatoes, half of a red onion, 1 garlic clove and the juice of one lime) or you can use store bought chunky salsa.
- 1/2 cup to 1 cup Guacamole (if you want to make your own, check out this homemade guac using your food processor) For a quick an easy guac: Smash up one avocado with a fork and add the juice of one lime, and sprinkle with salt if desired. You can also just use avocado slices instead of guac if you prefer.
- For Vegan Nacho Cheeze Sauce:
- 1 red bell pepper (160g)
- 1/3 cup (46g) cashews (soaked if your blender is not powerful)*
- 1/3 cup (49g) of hemp seeds (you can also use 1/3 cup sunflower seeds instead)
- 1/2 cup (107g) of vegetable broth (water works too but you’ll miss out on the color that the veg broth provides)
- 2 garlic cloves (7g)
- 1/2 teaspoon (3g) onion powder
- 1 teaspoon (4g) garlic powder
- 1/8 teaspoon (1g) of chipotle pepper powder (you can also use cayenne pepper, I prefer the chipotle flavor though). Also, if you like lots of spice feel free to add more but I feel with 1/8 tsp it is spicy enough, so taste test first and then adjust.
- 1/4 teaspoon of salt or more, adjust as needed.
- Other options for toppings:
- Sauerkraut
- Chopped jalapenos
- This vegan green cilantro garlic sauce, so yum!
- Cooked Black beans (you can use canned black beans to save time)
- Vegan Sour Cream
Directions
- Begin by making your tortilla chips as instructed in this recipe. While your chips are baking in the oven – go ahead and make the walnut meat as instructed in this recipe. I usually pop my walnut meat in the oven while the chips are baking as well.
- Next go ahead and make the pico de gallo by chopping all ingredients, placing them in a bowl and coating them with the juice of one lime. Make the guac by mashing up the avocado with a fork and squeezing the juice of one lime (or lemon) and mixing. Set aside.
- Make the nacho cheeze sauce – throw all ingredients in your blender and process until smooth.
- Finally, once chips are ready, walnut meat has roasted, and all the toppings are ready to go – layer your nachos in this order (or any order really, but I like this order in particular): place chips on a plate, then add the walnut meat (or your store bought version) on top, next add the pico de gallo or chunky salsa, add a dollop of guacamole or avocado slices and drench – I mean drizzle – with the nacho cheeze sauce or store-bought vegan cheese. Add any additional toppings you like.
- It is now time to DIG in and enjoy.
