Directions
- In a medium saucepot, combine the salsa, quinoa, water, soy sauce, and chili powder. Cover and bring to a boil over medium-high heat.
- Reduce to a simmer and cook, covered, for 15 minutes, or until all the water is absorbed.
- Remove from the heat and let stand 5 minutes, then fluff with a fork.
- On a large platter build your nachos starting with a layer of tortilla chips, then beans, quinoa, cheese sauce (see Tip if using store-bought cheese shreds), tomato, and cabbage.
- Add another layer of chips, beans, quinoa, cheese, tomato, and cabbage. Finish off the nachos by drizzling the sour cream over the top and sprinkling with the scallions.
Tip: If you’re using store-bought vegan cheese shreds, layer everything except the sour cream and scallions on an oven-safe platter or baking dish. Bake at 425°F for 8 to 10 minutes to melt the cheese. Carefully set the platter on a second platter, drizzle with sour cream, and sprinkle with scallions. Warn your guest that the main platter is hot!
