Healthy Vegan Nachos




Malissa and I have been getting several requests for recipes involving snack foods, and kid-friendly meals where they won't realize they are eating something healthy.  Because of this, we decided to try a couple of our recipes on our twin nieces to see if they are worthy of being called kid-friendly.  These nachos have all-natural ingredients, are gluten free, and vegan.  They also passed the test; the twins loved them!

Our niece Kailey said they were delicious!
Vegan Nachos

-Tortilla Chips (look for some that only have three ingredients: Corn, oil, salt)
-Red or Green Pepper Slices
-Black Beans
-Vegan Refried Beans (If not homemade, make sure the canned version you buy says its vegetarian)
-Salsa (If you buy it from the store, make sure it has all-natural ingredients. Pace is a good brand)
-Pickled Jalapenos (optional)
-Olives (optional)
-Vegan Cheese (we like vegan gourmet, non-gmo, gluten free.  Can be found in most health-food sections of grocery stores)

Layer aluminum foil on a cookie sheet.  Lay out chips over sheet, top the chips with all the ingredients except salsa, in whatever order you choose.  Finish with cheese sprinkled all over the chips.  Put in the over at 350 degrees for about 15-20 minutes.  Top with salsa.  Enjoy!


Homemade guacamole also goes great as a topper for this!
