Heat a skillet over medium heat and add olive oil.
Add cooked quinoa and canned black beans to the skillet and stir in the taco seasoning. Cook for 3-5 minutes or until warmed through, then set aside.
Gently crush the unopened snack-sized bags of tortilla chips to create smaller chip pieces, but avoid turning them into crumbs.
Carefully open each bag along the top seam to create a wide opening for adding toppings.
Divide the quinoa and black bean mixture evenly between the four bags, layering it over the crushed chips.
Top each bag with diced cherry tomatoes, chopped lettuce, vegan shredded cheese, guacamole, and salsa.
Add a dollop of vegan sour cream and sprinkle fresh cilantro over the layers.
Serve each bag with a lime wedge on the side for squeezing over the toppings.
Hand out spoons or forks for eating directly from the bag for a fun and easy dining experience!
