Vegan Nachos

Cayenne pepper, chili powder, garlic powder, sea salt and nutritional yeast to taste
2 brown rice wraps
guacamole or avocado
cashew cream sauce
black olives, chopped
2 Roma tomatoes, chopped
2 tbsp onions (red or sweet), diced
2 leaves of romaine lettuce, chopped
Cut brown rice wraps into 8 triangles, like you are slicing a pizza. Place on a cookie sheet and pop in to the oven at 350 degrees to crisp up. The will be slightly brown and very chip-like. Usually 5-10 minutes, depending on your oven and the amount of crispness.
While those bake, prepare your cream sauce. Soak 2 tbsp raw cashews in water for 5 minutes. Place the cashews in a blender and add 1-2 tbsp water. Squeeze half a lemon into the blender. Blend until smooth and the consistency of sour cream.
Drain and rinse the black beans. Heat them with the seasonings, adding as much as tastes good for you. If it gets really thick, you can also add a little water.
Chop all veggies. Take chips out of the oven and place in two oven safe dishes, I used pie plates. Top with Daiya cheese and beans. Place back in the oven for 2-3 minutes.
Remove from oven, transfer to your eating plates, and add toppings.
Eat, enjoy, and repeat soon!
Peace and love,
