    Looking for the perfect vegan dish for that next tailgate party? These super-tasty vegan nachos can be made with simple pantry and refrigerator staples in a matter of minutes.

    Nachos are fun fare for any occasion, whether as a snack for a small party, or even as an easy weeknight dinner.

    I especially love these vegan nachos because they are so incredibly simple! It uses staple ingredients that you probably already have in your kitchen right now.

    How to Make Vegan Nachos

    1. Arrange tortilla chips on an oven safe dish or baking sheet.
    2. Top with vegan cheddar cheese shreds and toppings such as black beans, corn, chili peppers, and tomatoes.
    3. Bake until cheese is melted.
    4. Top with fresh spinach leaves, if desired.

    Variations

    There are so many ways to make nachos, the combinations are virtually infinite. Some of my other favorite vegan nacho toppings are:

    • Any kind of beans. Try kidney beans or refried beans, in addition to black beans!
    • Vegan queso - try this vegan cheese sauce!
    • Spice it up with chilis in adobo sauce or sliced red chili peppers.
    • Black olives.
    • Fresh herbs such as parsley or cilantro
    • A dollop of dairy free sour cream or plain dairy free yogurt.
    • And of course - guacamole!

    Have fun experimenting with your own favorite toppings!
