Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 8 cups tortilla chips
- 1 can (15 oz) canned black beans
- 0.5 cup, diced red onion
- 1 cup, diced tomatoes
- 1 fresh, sliced jalapeño
- 1 medium, diced ripe avocado
- 0.25 cup, chopped cilantro
- 0.5 cup nutritional yeast
- 1 cup unsweetened almond milk
- 2 tablespoons tapioca starch
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
Spread the tortilla chips evenly on a large baking sheet or oven-safe platter.
Rinse and drain the canned black beans, then evenly distribute them over the chips.
Sprinkle the diced red onion and tomatoes evenly over the bean-covered chips.
In a small saucepan, combine the nutritional yeast, almond milk, tapioca starch, lemon juice, garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, and salt.
Place the saucepan over medium heat and whisk constantly until the sauce thickens and becomes stretchy; this should take about 5-7 minutes.
Pour the cheese sauce generously over the nachos, making sure to cover as many chips as possible.
Place the nachos in the preheated oven and bake for about 10 minutes or until the toppings are heated through.
Once baked, remove the nachos from the oven and immediately top with sliced jalapeño, diced avocado, and chopped cilantro.
Serve the nachos warm and enjoy your Vegan Nachos Bell Grande!
