Ingredients
- 1 pack Meatless Farm Plant-Based Mince
- 1 large bag of tortilla chips
- 1 avocado, cubed
- Handful of cherry tomatoes, quartered
- Juice of 1/2 lemon
- 4 tbsp plant-based yoghurt or soured cream
- Large handful of chopped coriander
- 1/2 tsp cumin
- 1 tsp smoked paprika
- 1/2 tsp oregano
- 1 tbsp tomato or harissa paste
- 2-3 tbsp water
- Salt and pepper
For the cheese sauce
- 1 1/2 cups raw cashews, soaked for 2 hours or overnight
- 1/4 cup nutritional yeast
- 1 cup unsweetened almond milk, plus more if necessary
- 1/2 tsp ground turmeric
- 1/2 tsp paprika
- 1/2 tsp onion powder
- 1 tsp dijon mustard
- 1 tsp salt, to taste
For the pickled onions
- 1 medium red onion, very thinly sliced
- 1/2 cup water
- 1/2 cut white vinegar
- 1 1/2 tbsp sugar
- 1 1/2 tsp fine sea salt
Method
- Add all the ingredients of the pickled onions into a bowl or jar, loose with a lid or cling film and set aside in the fridge.
- Drain the soaked cashews and blend them with all the “cheese” sauce ingredients, set aside.
- Heat a non-stick pan with oil and add the Meatless Farm Plant-Based Mince. Wait for 1 min and slowly break it into small pieces, cook for 12-15 mins, turning it around until it’s all golden and crispy.
- Add the dried herbs and spices, harissa paste and mix together until everything is combined (you can add 2 tbsp of water if needed to loosen the mixture).
- Combine the quartered cherry tomatoes with lemon juice and a pinch of salt, set aside.
- Assemble the nachos by layering the tortilla chips, the Meatless Farm Plant-Based Mince, the pickled onions and avocado cubes. Splash on some plant based sour cream or yoghurt, and cheese sauce, followed by the tomatoes, coriander and pickled onions. Tuck in!
