Vegan Nachos Recipe (Vegan Nacho Cheese)

Written by Lindsay Nixon

I loved me some nachos in my pre-vegan days. I sometimes went to the movies just to eat the nachos! Tostidos con Queso was my favorite (albetit very unhealthy) cheese of choice. Once I went vegan I knew I'd have to recreate a vegan version and I have! This cheese is cashew-based (so not fat-free) but the nuts are necessary to get the right creamy, rich consistency... it's okay to splurge once in a while.
