A simple appetiser to whip up - the cashew sour cream doesn't require a long soak so you can make it at a moment's notice. I prefer a fresh tomato salsa for better flavour but if you're short on time you can use your favourite jarred salsa.

Time 40m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 15

1/2 cup cashews
1 tablespoon lemon juice
1 pinch salt
1 garlic clove, peeled
1 cup cherry tomatoes, finely chopped
1/2 small red onion, finely chopped
1 lime, juice of
1 pinch salt
1 red chili, finely chopped
5 ounces tortilla chips
1/2 cup vegan shredded mozzarella style cheese
0.5 (14 ounce) can refried beans
1 avocado
1 jalapeno, finely sliced
1/4 cup cilantro, finely chopped

Steps:

  • Make the cashew cream:.
  • Place the cashews in a pot and cover with water. Bring to the boil over a medium heat on the stove and simmer for 15 minutes. Drain and add to the jug of a high speed blender. Blitz with ½ to 2/3 cup water until smooth and thick. Add the lemon juice, salt and garlic to the blender and blend again until smooth. Transfer to a bowl and set aside.
  • Make the salsa:.
  • Stir together all the salsa ingredients in a small bowl and set aside.
  • Assemble:.
  • Preheat the oven to 350oF.
  • Tip the tortilla chips onto a baking sheet. Dot with spoonfuls of the refried beans and the salsa. Sprinkle with the shredded cheese and place in the oven. Bake until the cheese starts to melt - this will vary depending on the brand but should only take a few minutes.
  • Remove from the oven. Halve, de-stone, peel and finely slice the avocado. Lay the slices of avocado onto the nachos, dollop on some spoonfuls of the cashew cream then sprinkle on the jalapeno and cilantro. Serve.
