MACHO NACHOS

MMMM Nachos.  That gooey, spicy, tasty treat that you can have as a snack, appetizer or meal.  Usually consists of ground meat, refried beans, tortilla chips, nacho cheese, salsa and sour cream.  Here's my oil free vegan version. 

Ingredients:

I start with my own chips.  I cut the corn tortillas into six chips each using a pizza cutter.  I put them on a cookie sheet into a 200° Fahrenheit preheated oven for about 30 minutes.

1 can fat free refried beans

1 cup meat crumbles (or rehydrated soy protein)

1 cup fresh, oil free low sodium salsa (preferably home made)

1 avocado diced

vegan sour cream as much as you like

vegan oil free cheeze from our Mac n' Cheeze recipe (I added 1/2 teaspoon of jalapeno powder to it)

1 teaspoon chili powder

1 teaspoon cumin

2 tablespoons dehydrated onion (or 1/2 a small onion diced)

1 teaspoon onion powder

1 teaspoon garlic powder

1/2 cup roasted vegetable stock 

cilantro leaves for garnish and flavor

Heat the meat crumbles in a non stick pan and add all of the dry spices and onion.  Stir to mix and add the vegetable stock.  Continue to heat until all of the liquid has absorbed and cooked off. 

Warm the beans and cheeze in the microwave

Layer the nachos on a plate with chips, beans, crumbles, cheeze then repeat.  When you're done with the last layer add the avocado, salsa, sour cream and cilantro.
