Pompous vegan-mediterranean-ish-nacho porridge

1 pkg of the Soy Tempeh
2 tbs of minced garlic
2 tbs of vinegar
Olive Oil
Tomato and Garlic Marinade packet (or however you want the "meat" to taste.
1 bag of tortilla chips ( i used the blue kind )
1 bag of shredded vegi-cheese (mozzarella kind)
vegan feta
Garlic Salt
lettuce, tomatoes, black olives, artichoke hearts


First take a pan and lace the pan with the olive oil. I poured a little more than i usually do in this one, being that i like my tempeh really crispy. After the oil is good and hot, crumble the tempeh up into small pieces and drop it in. Dash about 1/3 of the packet of seasoning onto the tempeh, and add your garlic as well. I also add the garlic salt too, but you can use just regular salt, im just a garlic whore. Then stir in your vinegar. After the tempeh starts browning on the bottom, flip it and stir it around till it all gets brown.

While the tempehs browning start the oven on broil and get your chips and stuff ready. Take a baking pan, put some foil down, and empty the chips onto the pan.
Put as much cheese on it as youd like. When your tempeh's about ready,
put the chips and cheese into the oven, it only takes a few minutes for the cheese to start melting. Take the chips out of the oven, put the tempeh over the melted cheese.

Next just dress it up with the lettuce, tomatoes, black olives, artichoke hearts, and vegan feta. I also thought about drizzling some vinaigrette lightly over the top. Check it out, turned out awesome!
