Start with a base. I chose corn chips but Tostones work too.

Then add a bean or a legume.

Next, pile on all the colorful fiber rich vegetables you find in your fridge. Think purple cabbage, arugula, carrots, get creative!

Then the best part…

Add gooey vegan cheese, dairy free sour cream, guacamole, and (if you’re feeling fancy) some pico de gallo!

Here’s the recipe…

Ingredients

To make the lentils
1 tablespoon olive oil
½ yellow onion, chopped
1-2 garlic cloves, minced
1 (15 oz) can cooked lentils
1-2 tablespoons taco seasoning of choice (I like @SieteFoods)

To Build the Nachos
1 bag corn or grain free tortilla chips
1/2 – 1 cup finely chopped purple cabbage
1 cup arugula
Cooked lentils
Guacamole
Pico de Gallo
Dairy-Free sour cream
Melted dairy-free cheese

Instructions

To Make The Lentils: Heat the olive oil in a pan over medium heat. Add the onions and sauté until translucent. Add the garlic, lentils, taco seasoning and mix to combine. Let cook 2-3min or until all the flavors are well combine. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Once done, remove from the heat and
set it aside.

To Build The Nachos: Spread the tortillas chips in a single layer over a serving dish. Add the cabbage, arugula, cooked lentils, guacamole, pico de gallo, dairy-free sour cream, melted dairy-free cheese and garnish with chopped cilantro and scallions.
