While it is easy enough to prepare vegan nachos simply by swapping traditional cheese for a melted non-dairy substitute, creating an intensely flavorful fully loaded dish takes a bit more consideration. At the Sage Vegan Bistro in Los Angeles, California, diners are able to enjoy an inventive take on this snack by ordering 'Jackfruit Nachos.'
As well as featuring many must-haves of a classic nacho dish—such as black beans, spicy jalapeños, guacamole, pico de gallo on top of a base of organic corn tortilla chips—the Jackfruit Nachos also boast a cashew nut-based cheese, pickled cabbage and a garlic aioli sauce.
The use of jackfruit shreds as a meat substitute in this gluten-free, vegan nacho dish serves as a hearty alternative to beef or chicken or pulled pork and looks just as convincing as real meat.
