This bad-ass looking plate of nachos is part of the first unofficial vegan nacho challenge! It looks pretty mean and delicious, but the voters spoke and the nachos supreme was the winner this round. These mean green vegan nachos get their name mainly from those avocado chunks, kale pieces, and cilantro sour cream!

Don’t worry, they’re still loaded with gooey vegan cheese shreds and have that classic nacho vibe that you crave. (Check out my taco salad if you want Mexican flavors on a bed of greens!). These mean green vegan nachos let you have ya greens and ya nachos in one sitting. It’s the best of both worlds! You can check out the challenge in the YouTube video below or scroll down for the full recipe.
