Nachos and Cheeeeezze

Serves 2-4 Nacho Walnut Cheese Makes 1 cup

1 cup raw walnuts, soaked for 4 hours in 2 cups of water, and a pinch of sea salt 

1/2 - 1 cup filtered water or almond milk 

3/4 cup nutritional yeast flakes 

1 tbsp freshly squeezed lemon juice 

1/2 tsp apple cider vinegar 

1/2 tsp cumin (optional) 

1/2 tsp chilli flakes (optional) 

Sea salt and pepper to taste 

Instructions

Rinse and drain the walnuts well 

Place all ingredients in a blender and process until you reach desired consistency; I wanted mine a little bit chunky, but you could add more water/milk to thin it out 

 To make the nachos  

Layer plain corn tortilla chips in an oven proof dish 

Top with mashed kidney beans and walnut cheese 

Bake in a moderate (150ºC) oven for 10-15 minutes 

Top with fresh salsa (blend tomato, onion, spring onion, garlic and lemon juice )
