Sliding Scale Black Bean Vegan Nachos

When I was brainstorming recipes for my new college vegan cookbook, I thought back to what I was eating then – and it was pretty boring. My roommate had some fun ideas, though! She made nachos a LOT in single servings in our toaster oven. So this recipe was inspired by her 🙂

Thanks to everyone who voted here and on Facebook! This one was the overall winner, but not by much… we’ll have to save the granola bars for another time…

Notes

Basic corn tortilla chips should always be vegan, made with just corn, oil, and salt. Check the ingredients if you want to choose a flavored kind – Doritos pretty much always have milk powder in them, and some others like Tostitos Lime flavor use milk ingredients.
