INGREDIENTS Potatoes Carrots Pickled jalapeños Tomato paste Nutritional yeast Yellow miso paste Unsweetened non-dairy milk (almond or soy milk) Cashews Onion powder Garlic powder Canola oil or olive oil Hot sauce Salt Lemon juice Smoked paprika powder RECIPE PREPARATION Peel the potatoes and the carrots. Cut them into small cubes. Cook until soft. I usually use my Instant Pot to cook them.  Once the potatoes and the carrots are soft, transfer them to a high speed blender together with the remaining ingredients.  Process until smooth. This will take about a minute.  Transfer to a small pot and cook for a minute. The vegan nacho sauce will thicken up when being heated.  Serve with nachos and sprinkle with chopped jalapeños. I also added a bit of salsa in the middle of the bowl. Enjoy!

INGREDIENTS Corn Red bell pepper Lime Avocado Cumin Smoked paprika powder Vegan mayonnaise Firm tofu Fresh cilantro Chipotle sauce Salt and pepper Red pepper flakes RECIPE PREPARATION Dice the red bell pepper and the avocado. Cut the green onions into rings and roughly chop the fresh cilantro. Combine the corn, the red bell pepper, the green onions, and the avocado in a bowl. If you want to make an authentic Mexican street corn salad, use grilled corn instead of boiled corn. You could also cook it in a skillet over medium heat for about 5 minutes. But for a quicker version, I’d recommend boiled corn. Either fresh or frozen. Combine the vegan mayonnaise, the lime juice, the smoked paprika, the cumin, and the chipotle sauce and whisk until well combined. Season with salt and pepper. Pour the dressing over the corn salad. Stir in the chopped fresh cilantro and season the corn salad with red pepper flakes. In a small bowl, crumble the firm tofu with your hands...

You can either use canned black beans or cook them yourself, for example in an Instant Pot like I usually do. Pulse several times. Make sure to still leave some texture. You want the black beans to be slightly mashed but most of the corn can still be intact. It should form a sticky mass. Transfer the bean and corn mixture to a mixing bowl and add the spices, the chopped bell pepper, the vegan cheese, the red onions, and the garlic. Combine everything with a wooden spoon and taste.
