Equipment
- Parchment Paper or aluminum foil
Ingredients
- 12 ounce bag of tortilla chips
- 15 ounces jackfruit canned (drained and rinsed)
- ¾ cup vegan buffalo sauce
- 15 ounces black beans drained and rinsed
- 2 cups vegan nacho sauce or vegan cheddar shreds
- 1 red bell pepper diced

Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350° F. Place parchment paper or aluminum foil over your baking sheet. Place the tortilla chips evenly over the baking sheet.
- While the oven is heating, drain the jackfruit from the can. Use a paper towel to absorb the extra water, and remove any seeds in the center. Add the jackfruit to a medium mixing bowl. Tear apart using a fork.
- Add the buffalo sauce to the jackfruit and stir to combine until evenly coated.
- Evenly spread the jackfruit on top of the tortilla chips. Add the drained and rinsed black beans, vegan cheese, diced red pepper, and jalapeno slices.
- Bake in the oven for 10-12 minutes or until the cheese is melted and the jackfruit is warm.
- Top with sliced green onions, halved cherry tomatoes, and diced avocado, and serve.

Notes
Tips for Making Jackfruit Nachos
- Allow the jackfruit and buffalo sauce to marinate overnight if you have time. It will allow the flavors to seep into the jackfruit and provide a rich and spicy taste.
- Thin chips become soggy. Opt for thicker, sturdier chips that can hold up to the toppings.
- Arrange your chips in a single layer on a baking sheet. This helps ensure even baking and crisping.
- Evenly distribute the toppings on the chips so that the chips don't get weighed down, and each bite has a combination of all the ingredients.
- Keep an eye on your nachos while they're baking to prevent burning. Every oven is different, so the cooking time may vary.
- It's best to enjoy the nachos fresh out of the oven.
- You can store the buffalo jackfruit in the fridge in an airtight container for up to 4 days.
