Healthy Loaded Vegan Nachos

You are going to love these healthy loaded vegan nachos. A perfect vegan recipe for game day or superbowl sunday.  Not only are these nachos healthy, but they are super easy to make.  Whole food plant based nachos that have a big flavor as well. Nachos are such a comfort food but no need to feel guilty or constipated after indulging in this heavenly recipe. We have chosen some great toppings that make these nachos loaded and healthy. 

Healthy Loaded Nacho Toppings We Used

We have experimented with many different toppings, but for us, these were the healthiest, most colorful and flavorful combination of toppings. The list of ingredients we used to make the vegan nachos were:

Black beans – We buy black beans in bulk.  We absolutely love black beans in everything from savory recipes to sweet.  We like the pre-cooked canned beans for convenience, but you can also use dry beans if you have them or prefer them.  

Red onion – Simply dice the red onion any way you would like.  We also recommend rinsing the cut raw onions under cold water before using to take off some of that onion “sting”.

Guacamole – In this recipe we used our amazing Chunky Guacamole Recipe. Fresh guacamole is always best and never disappoints.

Cilantro – Fresh herbs are the best! Not only does cilantro offer many health benefits, but it adds a depth of flavor to this tasty dish.

Fresh tomatoes – Tomatoes add great color, flavor, and health benefits to the nachos.

Lime wedges–  This adds that slight kick of citrus needed to set your tastebuds off!

Vegan Queso– This vegan queso recipe is tried and true. It’s simple to make, but will elevate your vegan game day nachos and impress your friends and family.  This dip is totally dairy free and you won’t feel guilty about eating a large portion of this “queso”/
