Game Day!

There is nothing better than watching the games on Sunday.  One of our favorite snacks while watching the game is nachos.  Right now we're on a quest to eat a little healthier.  So, of course, I take it a step further and decide to make vegan nachos - well, slightly vegan.  Not sure if the tortilla chips I used were vegan or not.  I will tell you that my wife hates tofu and refuses to eat it.  She had no idea she was eating tofu in this recipe.

I found a recipe and decided to put my own twist on it.  So, here goes:

Ingredients:

Nacho Chips (vegan or others)
Avocado
Morning Star Soy Crumbles
Season Salt

For the Sauce:
14-16 oz. Block of Tofu
1/2 cup Vegan Mayo
1/4 Hot Water
1 Packet Taco Seasoning
1 Tbs. Paprika
1 Tbs. Chili Powder
Season Salt
1 Can Rotel (mild)

Directions

First thing you want to do is put the soy crumbles in a pan and fry them just like you would ground beef.  You can use oil or faux fry with water.  Season to taste with season salt - homemade or store bought is fine.  These only take a few minutes, once it's done just set it to the side.

Sauce:
Now, the recipe I found called this vegan nacho cheese.  This doesn't taste like nacho cheese at all, but it's really good and to be honest you don't really miss the nacho cheese.  The first thing you want to do is slice the tofu and put it on paper towels and blot it dry.  Slice the tofu into cubes and put it into a blender.  Add the rest of the ingredients and blend until smooth.

Plating:
Add nacho chips to a bowl or serving dish.  Add soy crumbles and top with the sauce.  You can top with tomatoes and/or onions.  I chose to use avocado.  Enjoy!!
