These 20-Minute Vegan Nachos Are The Perfect Super Bowl Snack

You can't have a party without some seriously good finger foods, and with the Super Bowl coming up, your party menu needs to be top notch. Nachos are some of the best finger foods around, but the only issue is that if you have allergies or sensitivities, you can't enjoy any of the cheese or sour cream that take the dish to the next level — until now.

Thanks to Sal Hanvey, nutritionist at food sensitivity specialist YorkTest, one of your favorite party appetizers gets a vegan remake. Now everyone can enjoy the cheesy, spicy goodness of these vegan nachos, with a margarita, of course. And you know what we love just as much as the vegan alternatives? The fact that it only takes 20 minutes to make! Hello easy weeknight dinner.
