Loaded Vegan Nachos

A couple weeks back I shared the image below of our lunch and it was really a hit. The recipe was requested since they look "super delicious"! Corn chips, black beans, brown rice, homemade cashew habanero queso, onions, Serrano peppers, tomatoes and hot sauce all piled together, baked and consumed. Yum! Nachos are a really quick and easy meal that you can toss together with minimal effort and time. Many varieties are to be had, this was just what we happened to have for lunch, now you can have it too! Have a great weekend! Love & Light, Christa 

Ingredients: 
2 Cups Corn Chips
1 Cup Pre Cooked Brown Rice 
1 Cup Black Beans
1/2 Cup Vegan Cheese (I used homemade Habenero) 
1 Cup Chopped Tomatoes
1/2 Cup Chopped Onion
1-2 Serrano Peppers (depending how spicy you like it)
Drizzle of hot sauce (Sriracha)
Opt: Top with 1 Avocado, sliced or Guacamole

Peaceful Preparation:

1. Preheat the oven to your highest heat setting. This will make the process very quick. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease a pan.
2. Place 1 cup of chips on one side of the pan, and one cup of chips on the other. Spread out slightly so that nearly each chip will be covered.
3. Spread the rice on top of the chips, following with the beans on top, dividing equally between the two stacks. Sprinkle or spoon the cheese on top, depending if you are using homemade or not.
4. Sprinkle the onions, peppers and tomatoes on top of each stack. Drizzle Sriracha sauce on top. Bake for 7 minutes or until nice and warm, crisp and the "cheese" melts. You can stop here or top with avocado or guacamole. From my kitchen to yours, Christa

Tips:
I often make a big batch of rice and beans for the week. Then I can pull from these items during the week, making meals like this one come together in a flash.
