1 tsp smoked paprika
1 tsp ground cumin
½ tsp chili powder
¾ cup bbq sauce (vegan)
¼ cup vegetable broth

1 cup raw cashews, soaked in cold water for at least 2 hours, then drained
½ cup water
2 tbsp fresh lime juice
¼ tsp salt

For the pico de gallo

2 medium tomatoes, diced
¼ cup red onion, finely diced
1 jalapeño, seeded and finely diced
2 tbsp fresh cilantro, chopped
1 tbsp fresh lime juice
¼ tsp salt

For the nachos

10 oz tortilla chips
1 can (15 oz) black beans, drained and rinsed
1 cup vegan cheese, shredded

For serving

1 avocado, sliced or diced (optional)
2 tbsp pickled jalapeños (optional)

Instructions

1
Soak the cashews in cold water for at least 2 hours, then drain and discard the soaking water.
2
Combine the drained cashews, 1/2 cup fresh water, 2 tbsp lime juice, and 1/4 tsp salt in a blender. Blend on high until completely smooth and pourable, about 2 minutes, scraping down the sides once. The cream should be thick enough to coat a spoon but thin enough to drizzle. Set aside.
