Vegan Nachos

By La’Shon Cannon-Robinson


Nothing says Football Sunday like Nachos! Me and my husband are huge football fans and when football season starts the world is magically placed on hold. Events are strategically planned around the games and there is no such word as emergency or now—it will have to wait until the game is over!

Every football fan has a football meal but what on Earth can Vegans have on these magical days that God has blessed us with? Vegan Nachos, Vegan Pizza and my favorite—Vegan Buffalo Wings.

I usually add diced green and red peppers to my Boca crumbles and cook it all together in a skillet in olive oil. Then I garnish it all with guacamole. UUUM! I love guacamole!
