Instructions

  1. Heat a large skillet to medium heat and add the olive oil. Then add in the onions, peppers and mushrooms. Toss and cook the veggies until they are soft. Then add in the corn. Toss and cook it all together for a few minutes then add in the black beans.
  2. In a small bowl combine the spices with some salt and pepper. Add the seasoning blend to the veggie and black bean mixture and toss and cook that all for a few more minutes. Remove it from the heat and let it cool.
  3. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees and arrange the tortilla chips on a sheet pan. Heat the chips for 5 minutes in the oven. Then remove.
  4. To assemble the nachos: Place half of the chips to the side. Layer on the black bean and veggie filling over the top of the chips remaining in the pan. Top with a drizzle of the vegan queso. Layer on the rest of the chips, the remaining balck bean and veggies mixture and another drizzle of the vegan queso sauce.

Recipe Notes

Nutritional information is approximate and was calculated using a recipe nutrition label generator, and is based on 5 generous servings.

For best taste, I recommend using the cashew cheese. It is decadent, creamy and oh so cheesy! For still delicious flavor with lighter nutritional profile, the vegan queso is a great option (shown in photos). Or if you have both in the fridge, feel free to combine them.
