Ingredients

1-2 tbsp Oil
1 tbsp Garlic (minced)
1 small Onion (diced)
½ tbsp Garlic powder
½ tbsp Onion powder
½ tbsp Paprika
½ tsp Black pepper
Salt (to taste)
⅓ cup tomato puree
1½ cups chickpeas (blended)
Tortilla chips (of your choice)
½ cup shredded cheese (vegan or plant-based)

Toppings

Guacamole
Pico de gallo
Sour cream
Jalapeños

Instructions

1
Heat oil in a skillet over medium heat. Sauté onion and garlic until translucent. Add spices and tomato puree and cook for a few minutes.
2
Mix in the blended chickpeas and combine well. Pour in ½ cup water, cover the pan, and let it cook for 5-7 minutes until the chickpeas soften slightly. Remove the lid and continue cooking, stirring occasionally, until the mixture is dry and slightly crispy. Scrape the bottom of the pan as needed.
3
Layer tortilla chips, chickpeas, and cheese in a baking dish. Bake at 375°F until cheese melts. Add another layer of chickpeas, then top with your favorite toppings and enjoy!

Note

• Cook the chickpea mixture until slightly dry for best nacho texture.
• Use sturdy tortilla chips so they hold toppings without getting soggy.
• Layer ingredients evenly for balanced flavor in every bite.
• Don’t skip baking step—it helps melt the cheese and bind everything together.
• Add fresh toppings after baking to keep textures fresh and vibrant.
