Ingredients
- For the Nachos:
- 1 large bag of tortilla chips (sturdy, thick-cut)
- 1 can black beans, drained and rinsed
- 1 cup corn kernels (fresh, frozen, or canned)
- 1 small red onion, finely diced
- 1 red bell pepper, diced
- 1 jalapeño, sliced (optional)
- 1 avocado, diced
- 1/4 cup sliced black olives
- 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
- 2 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro
- Juice of 1 lime
- For the Vegan Nacho Cheese:
- 1 cup raw cashews, soaked
- 1/2 cup nutritional yeast
- 1/2 cup unsweetened almond milk
- 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
- 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 teaspoon hot sauce (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Prepare your toppings while the oven heats.
- Make the Vegan Nacho Cheese: Combine soaked cashews, nutritional yeast, almond milk, lemon juice, garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, Dijon mustard, salt, olive oil, and hot sauce (if using) in a blender. Blend until smooth and creamy. Adjust seasoning and consistency as needed.
- Layer the Nachos: Spread tortilla chips evenly on a rimmed sheet pan. Scatter black beans, corn, red onion, bell pepper, jalapeño (if using), and olives over the chips. Drizzle half of the vegan nacho cheese sauce over the toppings. Add a second layer of chips, repeat with remaining toppings, and drizzle with the rest of the cheese sauce.
- Bake: Place the sheet pan in the preheated oven and bake for 10–15 minutes, until heated through and chips are crisp.
- Garnish and Serve: Remove from oven. Top with diced avocado, cherry tomatoes, fresh cilantro, and a squeeze of lime juice. Serve immediately.
Notes
- Optional add-ons include extra hot sauce, guacamole, or salsa.
- Pairs well with pickled red onions or vegan sour cream.
