In a recent survey last year, nachos were ranked number one, not wings, as the number Super Bowl finger food. That’s great news for veg-heads and chickens, because nachos need not be loaded with cheese and meat, which means vegans can indulge and more chickens can be spared. Vegan nachos are raucous, bawdy, downright delicious and so easy, you won’t even need a playbook to whip these up in a jiffy. Use this recipe as a guideline, but add your favorite toppings to create your own version.
