Plant-Based Mexican Plate

This is sort of a nacho plate but without the cheese. I think this is a perfect dish for when you have guests over! Just assemble on a big plate and dig in.

This also is a perfect example of that plant based dinners don’t have to be boring. I actually don’t have much to say about this other than if you like Mexican flavors - try it! :) You can head over to my Instagram @fivesechealth to see a video of this recipe.
