There is NO wrong way to make and enjoy Nachos! Especially VEGAN nachos. I put together this quick nacho inspiration with my husband the other night and it turned out great so I wanted to share.
Using some of my favorite brands, you can always replace with homemade stuff or your own favorite brands. I used black beans, tempeh, bell pepper and the classic toppings.
The tempeh and beans make this recipe filling with plenty of protein. I used a simmer sauce that I had on hand but olive oil and spices would work just fine as well.
SHARING IS CARING! If you plan on making this for more then two, I suggest doubling the recipe. Although it makes plenty, you’ll want extra.

Notes
- I use Violife Cheese Shreds because they melt well. You can make a nacho cheese sauce or replace with your favorite vegan brand.
- I like my nachos spicy and added Jalapeño from a jar before I baked the nachos.
- This recipe would be good with cooked Quinoa or rice added to the mixture.
