Before we get into the recipe, if you have a few seconds to spare – take my What’s your favorite Thanksgiving dish poll on Facebook! I promise it’s painless and easy! 😉 Sometimes, meals like this make me feel like I’m cheating. There’s really nothing to it. I decided I wanted to try a meatless version of nachos for one of our Meatless Monday dinners – and this is what we came up with! It makes a nice, light meal!
