Vegan Nachos Supreme

March 30, 2016 by Lisa Le 4 Comments

Don’t skimp on your nachos, go all out with these vegan nachos supreme.
Plenty of guacamole, cilantro, green onion and hot sauce
over a bed of vegan cheese and seasoned soy crumble.
Party on, folks.

VEGAN NACHOS SUPREME | The Viet Vegan | For those late night cravings, but HEALTHIER!

Lately I’ve been at the whim of my cravings. The craving for fresh air, the yearning for a new phone case to add some colour to the daily mundane, and predictably the urge to dig in to a sheet-full of crisp, nachos with all my favourite fixins’. Somehow, both Eddie and I have seemed to sync up our cravings, or perhaps its just Eddie succumbing to my desire to get late night bubble tea or impromptu chili cheese fries from the Hogtown Vegan.

VEGAN NACHOS SUPREME | The Viet Vegan | For those late night cravings, but HEALTHIER!

As you may have noticed, Eddie and I have been officially living together for a couple of weeks now. Our apartment is still slowly taking shape (we had a lot of rearranging to do), and there are still a couple things here and there we need to find permanent homes for, but the transition towards a combined household has been surprisingly smooth. We compensate for each other’s laziness: I’ll cook when he unmotivated to make something, and he’ll take out the garbage and recycling when I start to let the bins overflow. He gets the laundry started and I’ll drag him to the pile of clean laundry so we can fold it together.

Having him around means that I always have someone to go get ice cream with or to lift up my spirits after a long day. I don’t know how I ever did long distance before. Sometimes I worry that I’ve become dependent on him, but I think that we’ve both become dependent on each otherโ€”in a healthy way. We both need and want to wind down and talk about our day together, and that’s something I’ve never experienced before.

It’s so interesting to find that person that is exactly your brand of weird. I make weird noises and take jokes a little too far, and he’s feeding my frenzy by retaliating with his own ridiculousness and jokes. We are equally prone to staying up too late or sleeping in too long, and we both find crowds exhausting.

It seriously blows my mind that he is real.

He knows exactly what I need to hear, he does preciselyย what I need him to do when I feel stressed out, and we both find pleasure in doing ridiculous things just to crack each other up. I don’t understand how we managed to find each other but I am profoundly grateful. Thank you Universe, for leading me to the person who knows me better than I know myself. I was an utter wreck at the moment we met and somehow I found the person who had the patience to help me put the pieces of myself back together.

The other day I had the realization that April was just around the corner, and I was reminded that this time last year I was actually a basket case. At this point last year, I would have emotional breakdowns every couple weeks. I literally shat myself on the subway in front of a few dozen people and shut down a few days later when someone stoleย my phone. I locked myself in my room for two days and just watched Daredevil with the curtains closed because I didn’t want to deal with life.

Fast forward a year, and I am the happiest I have ever been. I am in disbelief.

I wanted to thank all of you for reading and sticking with me through my emotional rollercoaster over the past couple of years. I was barely posting here because I lost any spark of creativity. I should have known that the lack of creative spark was a sign that something wasn’t right, but you waited it out for me to get my poop in a group. And here we are: regular weekly posts, a new fancy newsletter format (FYI it’s going to be a summary newsletter that gets sent out twice a month with some extra fun tidbits just for my subscribers), weekly YouTube videos, and (mostly) daily Instagram posts!

We’ve come a long way.

Thanks for being there and reading my thoughts. It’s nice to be heard.

For a more entertaining version of this recipe, check out this week’s YouTube video! I’m getting the hang of this whole “being on camera” thing and I’m starting to have more fun with it. Eddie helped me by shooting some B-roll and I’m starting to get more subscribers! It’s really exciting! If you haven’t subscribed yet, please mosey on over and hit that Subscribe button.

Yield: 2-4

Vegan Nachos Supreme

Vegan Nachos Supreme
Prep Time 10 minutes
Cook Time 25 minutes
Total Time 35 minutes

Ingredients

  • 3 cups of tortilla chips (I used Que Pasa chips, but use whatever suits your fancy)
  • 2 tsp oil (grapeseed, olive, whichever)
  • 1 onion, diced
  • 1 banana pepper, seeded and sliced
  • 2 cups of vegan crumbles (I used Gardein Beefless ground)
  • 1 tsp onion powder
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1 tsp paprika
  • 2 tsp chili powder
  • 1 tbsp dark mushroom soy sauce (or you can just use dark soy sauce)
  • salt and pepper to taste
  • 1/4 cup water (as needed to add moisture back into the crumbles as you cook)
  • 2 cups of Daiya cheddar shreds
  • 1 vine tomato, diced
  • 1 cup of your favourite guacamole*
  • 1 cup vegan sour cream (I used Tofutti)
  • 1/4 cup diced green onion
  • Chopped cilantro to garnish
  • Optional: hot sauce

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350ºF (180ºC).
  2. Prepare your crumble by heating grapeseed oil and cooking onion until translucent. Add banana pepper and cook until slightly softened.
  3. Add vegan crumble and spices and stir to coat. Add dark mushroom soy sauce and water as needed to add moisture into the crumbles (depending on the type of soy crumbles you use, the moisture content may vary). You may find yourself using just a tbsp or two, I used about 1/4 cup. Once cooked, taste and add salt and pepper to your liking. Turn off the heat and set aside.
  4. Layer tortilla chips and add about 1 cup of cheddar shreds on top of the tortilla chips.
  5. Add a layer of the cooked crumbles then the second cup of cheddar shreds. Bake for about 10-15 minutes until the cheese has melted through.
  6. Add a layer of the diced tomato, then add dollops of guacamole and vegan sour cream.
  7. Garnish with plenty of green onion and cilantro and hot sauce as desired.
  8. Enjoy immediately!

Notes

*I typically use 1 avocado, 1 clove of garlic, 1 tbsp lime juice (about half a lime), some salt and pepper, and mash it all together.

    Hi there Lisa

    I just came across your blog today googling vegetarian nacho recipes (I’m not vegan or veg myself but I LOVE finding new recipes for either as i’ve started cutting down on my meat consumption) and I have to say I just loved reading the lead up to the actual recipe. It was very captivating and uplifting and had so much personality in the way it was written. I am never one to usually read these parts, rather I skip to the recipe and that’s that. But I really enjoyed reading about you and your partner moving in together and the quirky, goofy ways your personalities intertwine perfectly with each other and also about how far you have come in the past year – very inspiring.

    I never usually sign up to these sorts of things, despite my great love for food and cooking – however after this one-time read of your blog i’m signing up! I also love spicy food, noodles (especially noodle soup!) and food in bowls and I look forward to becoming a new follower of your journey with food and in life.

    All the very best!! Keep up all the amazing work :)
    Dani

My latest YouTube video with my recipe for EZ PZ sourdough bread is live. No need to wait for a levain, no autolyze, and no super wet, sticky dough or gummy bread!
๐Ÿž
I've been thoroughly enjoying all this bread and how consistently delicious it has been! Please go give it a watch to hear me wax and wane about bread, or check out the blog post for a video with no talking, only bread ๐Ÿ˜‚

Henlo it's been a very busy week on my end but I've been working hard to try to get back up to 2x a week uploads again. So last week I posted two bookish videos and today I posted my sourdough discard chocolate chip cookies!
๐Ÿช
Crisp edges, chewy centre, crunchy flakes of @maldonsalt on top...MMM. A perfect way to use up some sourdough discard!

Video is up on the channel, and recipe is on the blog๐Ÿฅฐhttps://bit.ly/2LilQk3#thevietvegan #thevietveganrecipes #whatveganseat #sourdoughdiscard #sourdough #๐Ÿช

[AD] Tis the season for finger food and delicious bites! So many vegan charcuteries tend to be nut-heavy, but for those who are allergic to many things like me, you might enjoy this pizza snack board I created for @whollyveggie with some marinated mushrooms (recipe on the blog), fresh veggies, and olives, and vegan salami to snack on, with pizza sauce to dunk in!
๐Ÿ•
I used the Classic Cheese, Margherita pizzas, and Naked Cauliflower Crust that are frozen and delicious for a snack board. I honestly kind of forgot that they were gluten-free because I love a nice, crisp thin crust and this was tender enough to yield a nice, chewy bite while being golden and crisp!
๐Ÿ•
Find the recipe on my blog, deets on your closest Wholly Veggy retailer on their website, and please tag me and @whollyveggie in your homemade pizza snack boards! I'd love to see how you customize yours :)

Feeling like I got my mojo back! Also coincidentally my cycle ended, so maybe that had something to do with this week of super low energy and negativity ๐Ÿ˜‚โฃ๏ธ๐Ÿ˜ญToday I cleaned out the fridge, treated myself to a schnickers square from @covenhamilton and made some Instant Pot phแปŸ because Eddie's been missing @saigonlotustoronto and we haven't been able to go all year (for obvious reasons).You can find the recipe on the blog. I'll put a swipe up link since the link in bio sometimes take a second to populate, or you can use the search bar at the top of my blog! Hope you are all having a relaxing weekend โ˜บ๏ธInstant Pot PhแปŸ: http://bit.ly/2DdKATA#thevietvegan #thevietveganrecipes #whatveganseat #veganfoodshare #veganpho #vietvegan #vietnamesefood

A lot of you are celebrating Thanksgiving today, and while this Instant Pot red curry lentil and potato stew is not a Thanksgiving recipe, I wish you all the best this weekend and kindly remind you that Thanksgiving has a lot of colonial, traumatic and genocidal origins of Indigenous peoples across North America.
๐Ÿ‚
Eddie loves Thanksgiving food (I mostly like stuffing/dressing and mashed potatoes haha) so I understand that nostalgia and love for Thanksgiving fare, but I hope you also take this time to continue your education in Indigenous history, culture and how the exploitation and trauma still affects Indigenous cultures and peoples today.
๐Ÿ‚
I always worry I'm being like a bummer to remind you of this year after year, but I'm on my own journey of education and unlearning the history we were erroneously taught and all the convenient gaps that didn't tell the whole story. We are all unlearning together.
๐Ÿ‚
And while it is important to learn about the heavy history, I also implore you to appreciate and support Indigenous art and cultures. I recently finished reading Son of a Trickster by Eden Robinson and I have many more books by Indigenous authors on my to-read list!
๐Ÿ‚
Enjoy the time with your loved ones (hopefully very safely, and hopefully you've quarantined before seeing each other). It can be hard to deny our families who have varying levels of concern, but know that the precautions you take now show the people you love and the communities we're in how much you care. Virtual celebrations aren't quite the same but are a nice stand-in for being alone.
๐Ÿ‚
Also fyi this is an Instant Pot red curry lentil and potato stew I shared last week. On YouTube and the blog! https://bit.ly/3nCsQWm

I feel like it's no suprise to anyone that my favourite colour is green and that this green ramen is an herbaceous, vibrant way to eat your greens!
๐Ÿ’š
PLUS I use peas in the sauce to add some lean, green protein so you don't feel hungry again in 20 minutes like you would if you just ate a pack of instant noodles ๐Ÿ˜‚
๐Ÿ’š
Recipe is linked in the bio, although it might take a sec to repopulate but it's also in my Asian recipe highlight (although it's not really Asian... it's just green saucy noods but my regular recipe highlight is getting too long ๐Ÿ˜…)

Inari pockets with vegan crab salad from my last hiking vlog ๐Ÿฑ๐ŸŒณ๐Ÿ‚ some of y'all might remember that this package of tofu pockets was similar to the package I have bought before and I realized too late that they had clam and oyster extract in the seasoning.
๐Ÿ
Because I was going on a hike with a few omnis, I figured it was worth just using it anyway to feed them so it didn't go to waste, and that way Eddie and I didn't have to eat it all on our own. This dilemma can be controversial, and I've had people (well, one persistent person) hate on me for drinking a can of Arizona Iced Tea after I bought it and realized too late that it had honey in it.
๐Ÿ
Y'all, being vegan is point blank a privilege. Choosing what to eat, being informed enough to want to choose vegan, having access to fruits and vegetables that don't cost $$$$, having time to cook, having the time to LEARN how to cook, it is all overlapping privileges that enable any of us to eat vegan. Throwing food away because of a mistake you made even though it is perfectly edible is not helping the animals (and it is so wasteful!)
๐Ÿ‚
Obviously in this case, it was just extract and not actually pieces of meat, dairy, or egg, so it was easier for me to eat it without trying to think about it. And honestly, I'm unsure if I would be able to eat anything non-vegan without getting sick (because I got hives after eating the tofu pockets ๐Ÿ™ƒ), but it's nuanced and eating a non-vegan product you bought by accident doesn't make you a bad person. It doesn't discount your veganism. You simply learn from it and keep trucking on.
๐Ÿ
Anyway, I explain this in the video but have a watch it you want to see how I made the inari and the beautiful trees on the hike ๐Ÿ˜#thevietvegan #thevietveganrecipes https://youtu.be/aBY97WhZCw4 #inarisushi #whatveganseat

Did anyone else grow up eating platters upon platters of bรกnh hแปi at long weekend parties and family gatherings? I swear these take up less space in my body than actual noodles because I can always eat an alarming amount ๐Ÿ˜‚
