Veggie "Pulled Pork" Nachos

Step 1

Preheat: Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).

Step 2

Cook jackfruit: Rinse jackfruit thoroughly and drain well. Heat grapeseed oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add jackfruit and cook for 5 minutes, stirring frequently. As the jackfruit softens, use the back of the stirring spoon to break it up into stringy pieces resembling pulled pork. The pieces near the core may not break into stringy pieces - they are still edible, but you can pull them out if you don't like the look of them.

Step 3

Season jackfruit: Reduce heat to medium. Add onion powder, chipotle powder, and salt. Stir to coat. Cook for another 2 minutes. Add barbecue sauce and cook until warmed through, about 3 minutes. Remove from heat.

Step 4

Assemble and bake: Spread tortilla chips out on a baking sheet. Scatter jackfruit, cheese, beans, onion, and tomatoes over top. Bake until the cheese is melted and golden brown, about 10 minutes.

Step 5

Garnish: Dollop the guacamole over the nachos. Top with scallion and cilantro (if using). Serve immediately.
