vegan version of nachos

Vegan Nachos with mince & melted cheese

This is really easy to knock up, and is great for informal sharing at social gatherings. Quick and easy to assemble as long as you've already made some of my vegan spag bol chilli mince mix/sauce - and it's in the freezer.

Notes

  • You can put loads of things in the veg mix - whatever takes your fancy - can add spring onions, black or green olives, gherkins even, pimientos etc.
  • With the veg - don't put them on the chips in advance of assembly or they make the chips soggy.
  • Same thing with the mince keep it on the veg or the chips go soggy.
  • Using 2 or 3 layers of different cheese works well - adds texture, and as long as the last thin layer is a super melty on like Cheezely's mozzarella it will work just fine.
  • You can add any herbs and spices you like  on top - sainsbury's do a good range - anything spicy is good!
  • You can add some fresh chillies on top of the cheese layer too!
