My Vegetarian Loaded Nachos with pulled pork jackfruit is great for a game day appetizer, a snack, and an awesome dinner idea. Nachos are one of my favorite meals. This recipe was created for my daughter since she stop eating my Loaded Nachos with ground turkey. You can switch out any protein and make this great and fulfilling. Barbacoa, Ground Turkey, Ground Beef, or shredded chicken, it's all delicious. My version does not include refried beans just because I don't like them so I did it my way. If you love refried beans by all means the more the merrier.
You can use pre-shredded cheese, cheese sauce, vegan cheese sauce, or shred the cheese yourself Colby jack, and cheddar I find the best blend.
Pico de Gallo (store-bought or fresh), guacamole, topped with sour cream (my favorite) Fresh cilantro the classic topping to give that boost of herb freshness. Fresh is always best!
Nachos can be store-bought or homemade Tortilla chips using white corn tortillas.
