DIY: Make Your Own Vegan Nachos

By : Dejon Dixon

Step 1


The first thing you’re gonna need to do, if you haven’t already done that, is make a batch of Cashew Queso; Once that’s done, you can preheat your oven to 400°F
Next, crumble your tempeh like in the picture; simply pick at it and tear it into little pieces with your fingers. 


Step 2 


Now, to make that yummy spicy crumbled tempeh: simply put all the ingredients at once in a medium frying pan set over medium-high heat. Stir to combine well and cook stirring often until all the liquid is evaporated and the tempeh starts to crisp up and resembles cooked ground beef. Remove from heat and reserve

Step 3

Next you will want to get all you ingrediants prep and ready to be use... chop all your veggies and thaw your frozen corn kernels, and that's it. there's no need to the corn first, just rinse it under cold water until its thawed completely and drain well.

Step 4

Line a broiler pan or half baking sheet with parchment paper and on it ..  arrange the tortilla chips in a single layer. then top with your reserved  cumbled tempeh  and thawed corn kernals, chopped red onion and jalapeno pepper. Bake in the oven for about 12-15 minutes. Just to keep it nice and warm.

Step 5

Carefully remove the nachos from the oven  and then drizzle about 3/4 of the cashew queso,  then top with the tomato's, avocado and cilantro and finally, drizzle the rest of the queso.
