- Next, add in the taco seasoning and garlic powder and cook for another minute stirring constantly.
- Add in the refried beans, and vegan beef. If needed add a little water to loosen the mixture. Cook according to package instructions, or until heated through.
Nachos
- Pre-heat the oven to 425º. Spread an even layer of tortilla chips across a large baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
- Add a little bit of the refried beans beef mixture to each chip. (Work in layers if needed. You will likely have two layers of chips.)
- Next, sprinkle on black olives, green onions, jalapeños, and vegan cheese.
- Place the nachos into the oven and cook until the cheese is nice and melted. This took about 5 minutes for me. If desired, broil on high for 1-2 minutes keeping a close eye on the chips to avoid burning.
