⅓cupcorn(frozen that's been thawed or canned that's been drained well)
½cupfresh cilantro,chopped
1small jalapeno,thinly sliced
Instructions
Make the Vegan Cheese Sauce according to recipe instructions. You'll need about half of the recipe's yield.
Prepare the Vegan Walnut Taco Meat. You'll want all of this! Set aside.
Make the Cashew Cream according to recipe instructions. Set aside.
Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Slice corn tortillas into triangles.
Arrange corn tortillas onto a full-size sheet pan. Bake at 350°F (175°C) for 8 to 10 minutes, or until crispy.
While the corn tortillas are baking, dice the avocado. Also, warm the Vegan Cheese Sauce in a small pot over medium-low heat, stirring often.
Remove the baked corn tortillas from the oven and prepare to assemble.
Top the oven-baked corn tortillas with Vegan Walnut Taco Meat, black beans, corn, and pico de gallo.
Drizzle generously with heated Vegan Cheese Sauce.
Add the diced avocado. Finish by topping with fresh-sliced jalapenos, cilantro, and a generous drizzle of Cashew Cream Sauce. Enjoy immediately!
Notes
Don’t overbake the tortillas: They crisp quickly, so keep an eye on them to avoid burning.
Layer thoughtfully: Start with heavier toppings (like walnut taco meat and beans) and finish with lighter ones (like cilantro and avocado).
Plan ahead: If you're planning for game day or a get-together, make the Vegan Cheese Sauce, Walnut Taco Meat, and Cashew Cream Sauce the day before. That way, you can start with step 4, making it a lot easier and faster to pull these vegan nachos together.
Serve right away: Vegan nachos are best enjoyed fresh before the chips soften.
