Footy Food=Vegan Nachos

So I had the boyfriend around to watch the footy...Oh hell, the footy was on while the boyfriend was at my house, so we had to watch it...hoorah! :-|
I have been craving nachos for a while so I decided to alter the pizza cheese recipe a little and use it on the nachos.

Vegan Nachos
Ingredients:
  • 1x Packet of corn chips (I bought the organic ones from Mrs Flannery's, they weren't too salty and nice and crunchy)
  • 1 x can of red kidney beans
  • 2 x bottles of chunky salsa
  • 1 spring onion, chopped for garnish 
1. Mix the beans and salsa together.

Guacamole:
  • 3 ripe avocados
  • Lemon juice
  • Taco/burrito seasoning
  • 2-3 cloves of garlic (minced)
  • 1/2 tofutti cream cheese
  • Half a red onion, chopped
  • Salt and pepper
1. Mash up avocados, add lemon, garlic, burrito seasoning and salt and pepper to taste. 
2. Add cream cheese and using an electric blender, blend until it reaches a consistency that you like, you may need to add more lemon juice.
3. Once blended, stir through the onion.

Cheese Sauce:
This is the same recipe for the pizza sauce, with some slight adjustments.
  • 1 cup water
  • 1 cup nutritional yeast
  • 2 tablespoons cornstarch
  • 1 tablespoon flour
  • 1 teaspoon lemon juice
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon garlic granules
  • 2 tablespoons water
  • 1 tablespoon canola oil
  • 1/4 cup tufutti cream cheese
  • 1/4 cup soy milk
1. Put all ingredients except the 2 tablespoons of water (include the 1 cup of water), oil, cream cheese and soy milk in a blender and process until smooth. 
2. Pour the mixture into a small saucepan, and stir over medium heat until it starts to thicken. Let it bubble for 30 seconds, remove from heat and whisk vigorously.
3. Whisk in the 2 tablespoons of water, oil, cream cheese and soy milk.

Once all the steps are done, assemble the nachos however you like. I like to layer everything on top of each other and garnish with the spring onions.

Delicious munchies:D
