For the vegan sour cream (optional)

  • 1/4 cup plain coconut yogurt

Remaining ingredients:

  • 1 bag tortilla chips (7 oz./200g bag)
  • 1 1/2 cups vegan cheddar shredded cheese
  • 1 radish, thinly sliced
  • 1 jalapeno pepper, thinly sliced
  • sea salt and pepper, to taste

Instructions

  1. Make salsa: Chop tomato into tiny pieces. Add to bowl with diced onion, garlic, chopped cilantro, jalapeño, corn and lime juice. Add salt to taste. Mix and cover.
  2. Make black bean medley: In a skillet on med heat add coconut oil. Add red onion and garlic. Season with jalapeno pepper, paprika and cayenne. Cook, stirring often until onions are softened (approx. 8-10 mins). Add black beans and mix to combine until warm (approx. 3-5 minutes).
  3. Prepare vegan sour cream. In a bowl combine coconut yogurt, lime juice and pinch salt. Mix. Cover and keep chilled.
  4. Preheat oven to 375F/190C. Line baking tray with parchment. Sprinkle a thin layer of tortilla chips. Then add a layer of black beans followed by a layer of vegan shredded cheese. Repeat layering until you've used all your ingredients (ending with cheese). Bake for 5-8 minutes, or until cheese is melted and gooey
  5. Remove nachos from oven, top with homemade salsa (any remaining can be served in a bowl alongside for dipping) and drizzle with vegan sour cream.
