Sometimes life delivers deadlines, graduations, meetings, and just generally too much to do all in the same day. It’s enough to make a person want to kick back with some comfort food. That, my friends, is what these Vegan Loaded Nachos are all about.
I know there’s a preconceived notion that vegan means a lot of time in the kitchen. We’ve been typecast.
And you know what? Sometimes there’s some truth to that notion. Word! But sometimes any kind of cooking at home can require time in the kitchen. You know, like Thanksgiving?
There’s also times when a vegan dish doesn’t have to take forever. Like, say these easy Vegan Loaded Nachos.
What You’ll Love About These Vegan Loaded Nachos
Let’s start with the obvious. Once you have the ingredients on hand, this recipe is so easy to throw together. It’s as simple as heating up the oven, putting some chips on the prepared pan, topping with some vegan shredded cheese and other goodies, baking for a few minutes and having at it. I used the Bulgogi Jackfruit because, well, it’s delicious. But if you don’t have that around, you can always substitute some veggie crumbles. It’s all good!
But just being easy isn’t the only thing you need at dinner time. It’s gotta be tasty too. Just take a look at these photos and you’ll see how tasty these Vegan Loaded Nachos are!
Of course, there’s also some of plant-based goodies in the mix too, between the jackfruit, black beans, corn, avocado, tomatoes, and jalapeño slices. I’m not saying that nachos are necessarily health food. I mean, it’s still a plate full of tortilla chips. But you can at least add these toppings to your list of daily veggies which is always a good thing.
We hope you love these Easy Vegan Loaded Nachos as much as we do. If you make them, take a photo and share it with #namelymarly on Instagram or Twitter. We love seeing your photos!

Another lovely post! Nachos are one of my go-to’s for busy nights. They are husband approved too which is a plus as well. In fact, its ANOTHER bonus that my husband can even make these haha. Always nice when I get a random break from the kitchen. Even hobbies need a rest sometimes!
I could make these and not even realize they are vegan!!They look scrumptious.
I think you’re right – I love trying recipes like this out on unsuspecting folks. Most of the time they have no idea it’s vegan. Love it!
