Party-Sized Jackfruit Nachos!
Whether you're into football or not, you
probably know that the Super Bowl is this weekend. I've never been much
of a football fan myself, but I'm always down for a party centered
around eating! We're going to have some friends over the day before for a
little get together and these nachos will absolutely be making an
appearance. They're deceptively simple to make, big enough to share with
a crowd, and so good your guests might not even believe you made them
yourself! We start by smothering toasted tortilla chips with our spicy
seasoned jackfruit, then pour on our homemade queso cheese and all the
toppings you can imagine - plus we added
guac!
This is a dish you won't want to share - it
is THAT good! Which is also why we supersized it, so maybe it'd make it
juuuuust a little easier to share? No matter what team you're rooting
for, you'll be glad you made these nachos to munch on...and so will your
guests!
INGREDIENTS
1 large bag of tortilla chips
1- 15 ounce can black beans, drained
2- 20 ounce cans of jackfruit (in brine), prepared and cooked to our
Jack Asada recipe instructions
1-2 cups homemade queso cheese (or sub whatever dairy-free cheese you prefer), warmed
1/2 cup red onion, chopped small
1/2 cup black olives, sliced
1/4 cup fresh cilantro, chopped
the BEST guacamole, for serving
?limes, for garnish
DIRECTIONS
Preheat the oven to 375 degrees. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper (or aluminum foil).
Spread the tortilla chips evenly over the
baking sheet and scatter the drained black beans over the top. Layer the
seasoned, cooked jackfruit evenly over the top, then place the baking
sheet in the oven for 10 minutes heat the chips, beans and jackfruit
together.
When finished, pull the baking sheet from
the oven and immediately top with the queso cheese, chopped red onion,
black olives, cilantro and guacamole. Serve immediately!
NOTES
Save time by preparing the jackfruit and queso a day ahead, then just reheat as necessary!
If you use a different cheese (daiya, for
example) we would recommend adding the cheese layer BEFORE baking so it
melts while in the oven.
Add whatever other toppings you like! Some
suggestions? Cabbage, salsa, hot sauce, green onions, jalapeños,
tomatoes!
