Ingredients
Scale
- 1-15 oz can black beans, drained & rinsed
- 1-20 oz can jackfruit, drained & rinsed
- ½ cup barbeque sauce
- ½ cup water
- 1 bag tortilla chips
For the Cashew Cheese Sauce:
- 1 cup unsalted roasted cashews
- ¼ cup nutritional yeast
- ¼ tsp salt
- ½ tsp garlic powder
- ¼ tsp smoked paprika
- ½ cup water (more as needed)
Optional Toppings:
- Diced red onion
- Salsa
- Guacamole
- Lime wedges
- Cilantro
- Pickled jalapenos
Instructions
- Soak the cashews in hot water for 15 minutes to 2 hours.
- Preheat the oven to 375 degrees. While the oven in preheating, shred the jackfruit into pieces using your hands or two forks. Discard any tough pieces.
- Heat a non-stick pan over medium heat. Add the jackfruit, barbeque sauce and water. Stir to combine. Cover with a lid and let simmer for 8 minutes. Remove the lid and let any excess liquid cook off. Turn off the heat.
- Spread the tortilla chips out on a baking sheet. Layer them with the black beans and BBQ jackfruit. Bake in the oven for 10 minutes.
- Drain the cashews from the water. Combine the cashews, nutritional yeast, salt, garlic powder, smoked paprika and 1/2 cup of water in a blender. Blend until smooth. Add more water as needed.
- Top the nachos with drizzles of cashew cheese, salsa, guacamole and any additional toppings.
Notes
- The cashews will get softer the longer they soak in water. This will make for a smoother “cheese” sauce.
- Add more water to the cashew cheese sauce as needed.
- Shred the jackfruit with your hands to achieve the “pulled meat” look.
- Add your favorite toppings!
