If you are a vegetarian, that doesn’t mean that you have to miss out on nachos. BeyondMeat helped us create this great vegetarian nachos recipe that is just as tasty {if not more so} than the original. P.S. No animals were harmed in the making of this recipe. 😉
We love nachos. Traditionally my husband makes them with real beef. However, though not strict vegetarians, we do like to make vegetarian choices where we can. So, when we were invited to try BeyondMeat for ourselves, we were happy to give it a spin.
Soy Free – Made with 100% Non-GMO pea protein, Gluten Free, and Kosher
10g of Protein – Same as ground beef!
No Cholesterol, Saturated or Trans Fat!BeyondMeat Comes in two flavors:
Beefy – A hint of garlic and citrus makes this perfect for pasta sauces, pizzas and more!
Feisty – A zesty blend of beef crumbles perfect for tacos or chili!
I will be the first to admit that many meat impersonators just aren’t that great. I am telling you now, though, this recipe with BeyondMeat looks, smells and tastes just like the nacho plate I remember my husband making with real meat. If you are looking to try a vegetarian version of your favorite Mexican dish, I think you will be thoroughly impressed.

This gives me a great idea for snacking this weekend. Sundays are usually lay around the house and graze all day and this looks like something that everyone would love, sorry gotta add the meat though or they might kill me.
Maybe you could sneak the BeyondMeat in and see if anyone notices. ;)
I've never heard of this Beyond Meat, but it looks like something I would try! We eat meat, but mostly fish and chicken - hardly any pork or red meat. So we're aspiring vegetarians, maybe! LOL
If you didn't eat the chicken, you would then be a Pescatarian. Baby steps. :)
Can I just say - I love you. I used to not be a vegetarian, my father was a butcher. For some reason in the past couple years I have turned into one and am having a horrible time learning to cook for my new diet. I can not wait to try Beyond Meat, i bet it will also be good in my taco salads that I love to make using beans!
I love you right back. ;) I bet this would be really good in taco salad, too. We have a taco salad that we make - I think we will try it in it very soon. :)
Those do look really tasty! I was a vegetarian at one point, but didn't stick with the diet.
I've never heard of this meatless meat before. I am ALL for the meatless nachos... but I do love meat. I love to load my nachos w veggies.
These look amazing. I have several friends who are vegetarian, and I'm always trying new recipes for when they come over.
I just love nachos of all kinds. This would be a good variation for me to try! YUM!
When I was a kid, I wouldn't eat meat of any kind. I wouldn't eat anything that had lived and breathed. Now, I do eat a little meat but still not a lot. I need to give these a try.
this sounds fabulous. I am vegan so this may work just great for me
I know you would have to leave the cheese off, not sure about the rest of it. That would be awesome if it is vegan, too!
if my beef is grass feed, can I count is as vegetarian nachos?
I would have to try this myself. My Mexican family would definitively take me to an assylum on this one lol
Great looking results, you could fool us meat lovers :0)
Lol! You can call the cow a vegetarian, at least.
