Vegan Tempeh Nachos
These Easy Vegan Tempeh Nachos with Pico and Cilantro are a go-to in our home for busy weeknights. The best part about this recipe is that it’s so easy to make and it’s mouthwateringly delicious and pretty healthy (even more so without the tortilla chips, haha! Makes for an excellent salad topping if you prefer).
Tempeh? What is Tempeh?
Tempeh is an ancient food that’s been used by people in Asia for thousands of years. It’s made from fermented soybeans and has a mild taste. You can get smoked Tempeh too!
It also results in amazing leftovers, so two meals in one is always a hit in my book. Finally, as icing on the cake – it’s kid-approved! Woot! Can’t ask for more than that! Checks all the boxes in my book. Enjoy!
- 2 Packs of Tempeh
- 1 Onion
- 3-4 Cloves of Garlic
- Taco Seasoning
- 1 tsp Garlic Powder
- 1 tsp Onion Powder
- 2 cups Vegetable Broth
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Tortilla chips
- Pico de Gallo
- Cilantro
- Queso sin Queso
- Start by cutting the tempeh into small pieces. Fry on medium heat until browning. Stir to brown evenly.
- Chop the onion and garlic. Add to the tempeh and stir. Lower temperature a little. Let cook for 3-5 minutes.
- Add the spices and then the vegetable broth. Stir and lower heat to simmer, cover with a lid, for approximately 15 minutes or until the liquid is pretty much gone.
- Finally, serve on a bed of tortilla chips and top with Pico de Gallo and Cilantro. Enjoy!!
