★★★★★ 5 from 5 reviews

Today’s recipe is vegan nachos made with fig salami with paprika, and cashew dip; a Mexican-inspired recipe with flavors from the Mediterranean and the Caribbean. These vegan nachos are a crowd-pleaser and the perfect easy appetizer idea.

Hello my friends. If you’ve been following us, you know we don’t make many vegan recipes, but here and there we like to surprise you with some tasty 100% plant-based recipes, and we are starting to create a small collection of delicious recipes for our vegan and vegetarian friends. Today we are making a Mexican-inspired recipe of vegan nachos with a unique twist by adding Vegan Fig Salami with Smoked Paprika and using plantain and yuca tostones instead of your regular corn chips. Every ingredient in this nachos recipe is 100% plant-based.

I honestly never order nachos at restaurants. I always lean towards other appetizers. But when I do go to a Mexican restaurant, the only appetizers that I want to order are quesadillas and guacamole. Did I mention I love avocado? And talking about those two Mexican appetizers, have you checked out these two recipes?

• The Best Guacamole Recipe with Charred Corn & Bacon
• Southwest Veggie Quesadillas with Cherry Tomato-Avocado Salsa.

They are amazingly delicious!
