Vegan Bean Chilli Nacho Bowl

An easy vegan chilli bowl with nachos, including beans, vegetables, tortilla chips and dairy-free cheese. Great for lazy-day dinners!

If you are craving something spicy, comforting and a little bit messy, this Nacho Bean Chilli Bowl might be for you.

It can be made with store-cupboard ingredients, and doesn’t take long to prepare.

This dish is one of those lazy meals, where there isn’t too much cooking involved. And sometimes that’s what you want.

The ultimate lazy vegan nacho chilli bowl

The only things you’ll need to create a tasty nacho chilli bowl:

• Three-bean mix – You can use a tin of mixed bean salad, a frozen mixture of beans or use whatever beans you have in your store-cupboard.
  
  
• Onion, garlic & peppers – Plus whatever other veggies you want to add. Great way to use leftover vegetables in the fridge or you can take a shortcut and use frozen here.
  
  
• Spices – I use cumin, ground coriander and chilli powder. You can also use a “mexican” spice mix.
  

• Chopped tomatoes
  
  
• Tortilla chips – Plain salted tortilla chips
  
  
• Vegan cheese – Preferably one that melts well! Follow your heart are good for this.
  
  
• Cooked rice – Optional. Cook the rice yourself or use frozen/pre-made.
  
  
• Avocado – Also optional.
