Vegan Nachos

Intro

Are you tired of having nachos with meat and nothing else but lettuce like a salad? Here is a recipe with ingredients so tasty and delicious that you might not regret having them with chips.

I don't remember the last time I had nachos in a restaurant, because once I knew homemade ones are easy and delicious to make, going back for them was a big NO. First of all, the price and and the quantity don't match. It is not wholesome. Chips are considered to be bad for health, but what about the protein in it? Chicken or beef, beans or corn are very nominal, don't necessarily make a meal. This recipe is about making your cheat days or normal days healthy and extra nutritious.

Plant Based Protein

For this recipe you could choose a variety of beans from red, black, pinto, pink, black eyed peas and garbanzo. They can either be canned or properly cooked homemade beans. Soya chunks or soya curls used are completely gluten free, and are made with soy bean flour. You can use my signature cheese sauce for this recipe instead of conventional or dairy cheese and still get the cheesy flavor, which is again an amazing recipe with protein infused in it.

Let's dive into the goodness of cheese and chips with this easy, quick and delicious homemade nachos recipe.
