Recipe Created by: Jamie Mok, MS, RD, RYT
Simple, Plant-Based Ingredients
- 1 c raw cashews
- 3/4 c non-dairy mylk (preferably one with neutral flavor)
- 1/4 c nutritional yeast
- 3 tbsp lemon juice (1/2 large lemon)
- 1 tsp apple cider vinegar
- 1/2 tsp cayenne pepper
- 1/2 tsp smoked paprika
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/2 tsp granulated onion powder
- 1/4 tsp garlic powder
- 1 jalapeño (if you like an extra kick)
- Pulp Pantry Pulp Chips (Sea Salt and Jalapeño Lime are perfect for these nachos!)
Additional topping ideas (optional!): cooked black beans, salsa, guacamole, shredded cabbage, chopped cilantro, sliced jalapeño, lime wedge.
Directions
- Place cashews in a sealable container, then pour enough water to cover all the cashews and let them soak overnight.* If you don't have time to keep the cashews over night, you can cover cashews with hot water. The more time they can soak, the better!
- Strain the water from the cashews and put into a high-speed blender/vitamix once they're soaked and soft.
- Add in 1/2 c non dairy milk, and set the rest aside for later.
- Then add in nutritional yeast, lemon juice, apple cider vinegar, and all the spices. Blend until smooth and creamy.
- If opting to add jalapeño, then thinly slice and set some aside for garnish.
- Warm a small sauce pan over medium heat. Lightly coat pan with olive oil and add in sliced jalapeños. Add in cheese sauce and simmer for 5 mins on low.
- Stir in 1 tbsp of non dairy milk at a time until you achieve your desired consistency.
* I’ve found that the longer the cashews soak, the better it blends smooth.
The Final Step: Nacho Assembly!
Here's where your inner food artist really can shine.
- To build the nachos, lay the first layer of Pulp Chips on a large serving plate.
- Then layer on cheese sauce, black beans, salsa, guacamole, and shredded cabbage.
- Garnish with chopped cilantro, sliced jalapeño, squeeze of lime!
