Notes

Tortilla chips - use sturdy tortilla chips, not super thin ones or they will tend to get soggy fast. If you use a nice, thick tortilla chip they will work much better for nachos.
Nutritional information - includes everything, tortilla chips, black beans, guacamole, full recipe of vegan taco meat and pico de gallo and half the recipe of vegan nacho cheese. I recommend you make the full batch of vegan nacho cheese though and just have leftover nacho cheese that you can enjoy with some chips over the next few days.
