    METHOD

    CASHEW CHEESE:
    In a blender, combine all the cheese ingredients and blend until smooth. Put the blended mixture in a small saucepan. Cook, stirring constantly, until the sauce thickens slightly. It will take between 5 and 10 minutes. Remove from the heat and set aside to cool slightly.

    TO ASSEMBLE THE NACHOS:
    Arrange all the chips on a platter. Black beans should be sprinkled on top of the chips. Make a cashew cheese smear on top. Sprinkle the top with the red onion, tomato, tempeh, chili pepper, and hempseed.

    Dredge the avocado in lime juice after dicing it. Diced avocado should be sprinkled on top of the nachos.
