Hearty Nachos
These nachos are a meal in and of themselves. You can prepare them nachos-style, or serve them like a multi-layer dip, with baked tortilla chips on the side. The recipe makes plenty of cheese sauce, so you may have leftovers; try this versatile sauce on potatoes, with raw or cooked vegetables, and added to cooked whole grains and legumes.

INGREDIENTS
- 8 corn tortillas
- CHEESE SAUCE
- ½ cup raw cashews, soaked in warm water for at least 10 minutes and drained
- 1 tablespoon tahini
- 1 roasted red pepper (from the jar), roughly chopped (½ cup)
- ¼ cup nutritional yeast flakes
- 1 tablespoon tamari sauce (or Bragg’s Liquid Aminos or low-sodium soy sauce)
- Zest and juice of 1 lemon
- ¼ teaspoon cayenne pepper
- ¼ cup water
- BEAN DIP
- 1 (16-ounce) can oil-free refried beans or canned pinto beans, rinsed and drained
- 1 cup prepared salsa
- 1½ teaspoons chili powder
- GARNISHES (optional)
- 1 avocado, diced
- ½ cup prepared salsa
- ½ cup fresh cilantro, finely chopped (parsley or lettuce can substitute)
INSTRUCTIONS
- Preheat the oven to 350°F. Cut the tortillas into bite-size triangles. Place tortilla triangles on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, and bake for 10 to 15 minutes, until crisp.
- In a blender, combine cashews, tahini, roasted red pepper, nutritional yeast, tamari, lemon zest and juice, cayenne, and water. Blend on high until smooth, and set aside.
- In a medium saucepan over medium heat, combine the beans, salsa, and chili powder, and stir gently. Once the beans are smooth warmed through, turn off heat.
- To assemble nachos-style: Place the baked chips on a platter, then top each with some of the beans and cheese sauce. Garnish with avocado, salsa, and cilantro. To assemble as a layered dip: Layer the cheese sauce over the bean mixture in a shallow bowl or baking dish, and garnish with avocado, salsa, and cilantro. Serve with the baked tortilla chips for dipping.
