Tortilla Chips

Toppings

Method

Prepare Tortilla Chips

  1. 1

    Cut and Fry Tortillas

    Cut corn tortillas into triangles. Heat vegetable oil in a large frying pan over medium heat. Once hot, add the tortilla triangles in batches and fry until golden and crispy, approximately 2-3 minutes per side. Remove with a slotted spoon and place on paper towels to drain excess oil. Sprinkle with salt immediately.

Make Vegan Cheese Sauce

  1. 2

    Blend the Sauce

    In a blender, combine the soaked cashews, nutritional yeast, almond milk, garlic powder, onion powder, turmeric powder, salt, cayenne pepper, and lemon juice. Blend until smooth and creamy. If the sauce is too thick, add a little more almond milk until the desired consistency is reached.

Assemble Nachos

  1. 3

    Layer Ingredients

    On a large plate or platter, spread the crispy tortilla chips evenly. Drizzle a generous amount of the vegan cheese sauce over the chips. Top with jalapeños and dollops of fresh guacamole.
