A plate of comfort-food deliciousness in the form of Vegan Pulled NO-Pork Nachos!
There’s a plethora of options for cheese in this nacho-libré momento… more proof that leaning towards vegan eating is actually an abundant move, not a restrictive one.
The more you explore the different options for your nostalgically yummy dishes, the wider your foodie mind will be opened!
Instead of dairy mozzarella, you can either choose from a ton of different vegan mozz alternatives (check out Vegan Supply and order online internationally), or make yourself one of these whole food cheeses: Cashew Cheese, Carrot Potato Cheese Sauce, Mind Blowing Multi-Purpose Cheese Sauce (nut-free), or even this Lentil Cheese Sauce.
There are so many different ways to cheese up your nachos!
And let’s not forget about jackfruit and the miracle that it is. If you’remissing that pulled texture of pork, jackfruit is your answer. Upton’s Naturals makes a great BBQ jackfruit, or the Jackfruit Company. Otherwise, buy it plain and sauté with some flava flave (as seen below).
No need to support the demand for this in this pulled pork situation.
Enjoy!
