Tortilla Chips

Method

Prepare Tortilla Chips

  1. 1

    Fry Tortilla Chips

    Cut the corn tortillas into triangles. Heat the vegetable oil in a deep pan over medium heat. Fry the tortilla triangles in batches until golden and crispy, about 3-5 minutes. Remove and drain on paper towels.

Make Vegan Cashew Nacho Sauce

  1. 2

    Blend Ingredients

    Soak the raw cashews in water for at least 2 hours, then drain. In a blender, combine soaked cashews, nutritional yeast, lemon juice, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and water. Blend until smooth and creamy. Adjust seasoning if needed.

Assemble Nachos

  1. 3

    Layer Ingredients

    On a large serving plate, layer the fried tortilla chips. Drizzle the vegan cashew nacho sauce over the chips, then add black beans, pickled jalapeños, salsa taquera, guacamole, chopped scallions, and cilantro on top.
