Easy Cheesy Loaded Nachos

(dairy free, no cholesterol,lower calories)

Recently on the way back home from my Juice Plus conference I was lucky enough to get to  stop at a restaurant called The Wild Cow. It is a amazing little restaurant that focuses on vegetarian food. Everything I had was fantastic but the only problem was The Wild Cow is 5 hours away from my home,so I can’t just jump in the car and go get some for lunch!  I thought the next best thing was to recreate the dishes as close as I could so I could have them whenever I wanted or until I get back to Nashville, TN!

My best friend was with me and she got the loaded nachos. They looked really good and she said she loved them (which is amazing becasue she is not a fan of black beans). I thought the loaded nachos would be the first meal I would tackle and share with all of you. These nachos are dairy free, vegan and vegetarian friendly, and contain no cholesterol. The also have a lot less calories than your typical loaded nacho platter, which is great becasue I always clean my plate when I make this!!

You really can not get any easier than this meal. The hardest part is making the mexican cheese sauce and not eating all of it before you pour it over the top of your dish.

Simply start with a large plate and put down a layer of tortilla chips (whatever brand you like). Next put a layer of lettuce followed by a layer of black beans. I then pour about a cup of this mexican cheese sauce over the whole thing.  I then add some chopped up tomatoes on top. It is that easy!! You could also add some chopped bell or colored peppers too if you had any.  The last step is the best- You sit down and munch happily away!!

This meal is super filling and even though it is not exactly like the one in The Wild Cow , it will do until I can get back there!
