Nachos That Are Actually Good For You??

Sandra Sellani co-author of the award-winning 40-Year-Old Vegan Cookbook 40-Year-Old Vegan Cookbook makes raw vegan nachos from Rachel Carr’s new vegan cookbook, Modern Raw, today on LunchbreakLIVE. Rachel Carr is the chef at The Pizza Plant, a popular vegan pizza food truck! Check it out in SoCal!

Nachos that you can indulge yourself with, and feel good for eating them!

Raw Nachos that are delicious and good for you! Did we die and go to vegan heaven?? No need to pinch yourself. This is real! Sandra starts off by making a moderately spicy pico de gallo. You can add more jalapeno if you want to turn up the heat. Next, Sandra makes the nacho cheese sauce in her blender using cashews as the base. Sandra pours the cheese over her sliced bell peppers and loads up the nachos with avocado, corn, cilantro, optional cooked black beans, more jalapeno, and the pico de gallo she made earlier. You can also add plain coconut yogurt for extra creaminess, no cruel dairy needed. Sandra likes how Rachel gives you the option to add beans because they are packed with fiber to make you feel fuller and are just all-around good for you! Try making your own raw nachos at home with Sandra’s recipe below. They are so good you may not want to share!
