Vegan Loaded Nachos Recipes

VEGAN LOADED NACHOS

Steps:

• Place cashews in a bowl and cover with cold water. Soak for 4 hours. Drain.
• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil.
• Combine drained cashews, salsa, bell pepper, nutritional yeast, turmeric, and 1 teaspoon salt in a high-speed blender; blend until smooth and slightly warm.
• Spread tortilla chips on the prepared baking sheet. Spoon chili all over chips and spoon cashew "nacho" cheese over chili.
• Bake in the preheated oven until hot, 10 to 15 minutes.
• Meanwhile, place avocados, 1/4 cup cilantro, and lime juice in a bowl. Season with salt and mash with a fork until guacamole is mostly smooth but a little chunky.
• Top nachos with guacamole and pico de gallo, and sprinkle with cilantro. Serve hot.

LOADED VEGAN NACHOS

Steps:

• Heat the oven to 425 degrees. On a sheet pan, toss together half the cauliflower, half the onion and the oil. Season with salt, then spread into an even layer. Roast on the bottom rack, without stirring, until brown underneath, 20 to 25 minutes.
• Meanwhile, make the vegan queso: In a medium saucepan, combine 1 ½ cups water with the remaining cauliflower, the nutritional yeast, bean liquid, chipotle chile, garlic powder and 1 teaspoon salt. Bring to a boil over high heat, then reduce to medium-high and simmer, stirring occasionally, until the cauliflower is very tender, 10 to 15 minutes. Transfer to a blender, and blend until smooth, then add 2 teaspoons of pickled jalapeño brine and blend to combine. Taste the queso on a chip; if flavors are muted, add more salt and brine. (Hold onto the saucepan; no need to clean.)
• In a medium bowl, add the adobo sauce to the beans and mash some of the beans with a fork. (This helps the beans adhere to the chip.) When the roasted cauliflower is done, zest the lime over, add the chopped cilantro and stir to combine. Scrape into the reserved saucepan. (Hold onto the sheet pan and don't worry about getting every last bit off.)
• Assemble: On the sheet pan, spread half the chips into an even layer. Top with half the beans, half the cauliflower and half the queso. Repeat another layer with the remaining chips, queso, beans and cauliflower. Bake until the chips and beans are warm, 3 to 5 minutes. Cut the lime into wedges. Top nachos with the pickled jalapeños, remaining chopped onion, cilantro sprigs, a squeeze of lime and any optional toppings.
