Vegan Nachos
I made this recipe up on my own. If there is one thing I love it is nachos! They are so quick and easy, plus you get three food groups: grains, veg, protein!
To start I used Juanita's Corn chips (honestly the best on the market). Just a handful on the plate. Then I take one can of organic pinto beans warmed in a small sautee pan and mashed with potatoe masher, add a little salt. Layer the beans onto the chips.
To make the cheese sauce I warmed one cup of unsweetened soy milk and 1 cup of Daiya Cheddar* shredded soy cheese. To this I added a couple dashes of cumin, corriander, red pepper flakes and 1 clove chopped garlic. Once the cheese is melted and sauce is thickened layer it on top of the beans.
Add all the fresh veggies you like: green onions, olives, tomatoes, avacados, lettuce etc.
Then to garnish I used Soy Sour Cream and mixed in a handful of chopped fresh Cilantro.
So delish and healthy!!
*a note about Daiya. If you are looking for a cheese substitute that taste just like cheese you won't find one. Daiya is the best on the market in mine and many others opinion but this is one of those situations where you have to let go of your expectations! It is a great SUBSTITUTION.
