Vegan Nachos

---

I had so much fun creating these nachos. I felt in my own world, just an artist watching my master piece come to life.

Making this loaded master piece would be very simple once you've made up a few of the components. I recommend making most if not all ahead of time except the guacamole ( to keep it's beautiful light green color) but if you want to prep it as well just make sure to add lime juice as the acidic boost helps to keep it fresh. Overall you're looking at a combination of amazing recipes I used from a few vegan creators I discovered out there. Now let's get to the break down of it all.

Starting with the chips. I wanted to try something different besides your normal salted corn tortilla chips. So I did a little research for vegan cheese seasoning to add to my corn tortilla shells. I came across this vegan Doritos recipe made by Fork&Beans. I would like to thank F&B for this awesome seasoning it came out better than expected. Most of the ingredients you may already have. With a few corn tortilla shells and a hand full of seasonings you'll have an extremely flavorful crunchy base to build from!

Moving right along to the queso cheese. If you follow me on IG,and FB you'll know I've tried a few cheese sauce recipes, but needed something more efficient. I came across this chickpea cheese sauce from Power Hungry. By far the best one yet! Not only because it's bomb AF but it's super easy and only took 10 mins. to make. I don't know about you but the faster I can sit and enjoy my creations the better! Talk about a cheesy game changer!

Let's hop on over to this shroom meat I made. If you can think it more than likely it's a recipe for whatever you want to make. Sure enough Alkaline Vegan Mommy helped making vegan ground meat possible with 0 soy. That alone made me very happy! So I crumbled up some mushrooms (pre-sliced) and put my own spin on it with chopped red and green onions and seasonings

Again if you've been keeping up with little ole me you'll know about my go to guacamole recipe (via IG). With a couple of avocados, a container of fresh pico de gallo (I typically get mine from Kroger), one lime, and a pinch of salt/pepper to taste you'll have delicious guac in

2 minutes tops. Just in case you hadn't figured out by now I'm a chef who loves spending more time eating than cooking. Remember it's all about efficiency. All other recipes listed below.
