Hoff's Quinoa Nachos

Hoff's Quinoa Nachos
Yields: 2 hearty entrees
meat-free, dairy-free, egg-free, oil-free, soy-free, gluten-free

Ingredients:

Nacho "Meat"
  • 1 cup Quinoa
  • 1 1/2 cups Veggie Broth
  • 1 tsp. Taco Seasoning
  • 1 tsp. Cumin
  • 1 tsp. smoked Paprika
  • 1/2 tsp. Garlic Powder
Cheese Sauce:
  • 1 15 oz. can Diced Potatoes (rinsed & drained)
  • 1 15 oz. can Carrots (rinsed & drained)
  • 1/3 cup Nutritional Yeast
  • Juice from half a Lemon
  • 1 tsp. smoked Paprika
  • 1 tsp. Garlic Powder
  • 1 tsp. Onion Powder
  • 1 tsp. Sea Salt
Nachos:
  • Organic Corn Chips
  • 1 Avocado (chopped/optional)
  • 2 tbsp. diced Onion
  • 1 16 oz. can fat-free Refried Beans
  • 1 15 oz. can fire roasted diced Tomatoes
  • 1 2.25 oz. can sliced Black Olives (rinsed & drained)

Directions:
  1. Prepare Quinoa per the box directions, adding the rest of the ingredients, I prefer using the Instant Pot - throw all the ingredients in the IP, seal & lock lid, set Manual timer for 4 minutes, allow to Natural release for 10 minutes, then Quick release
  2. Meanwhile put Cheese Sauce ingredients into Vitamix & blend on high for 6 minutes
  3. Separately, heat up Refried Beans
  4. When the Quinoa, Cheese & Beans are done, assemble your Nachos anyway you see fit

Hoff Thoughts: I like to prepare this as a main entree for two people on those nights when I just want some comfort food, but I suppose you could share with others as a party appetizer.
