Drain and rinse 2 cans of pinto beans.

Turn on the stove and heat the pinto beans in a skillet.

Add 1 packet of taco seasoning to the beans and stir.

If necessary, add a little water to the beans and continue heating.

Use an emulsifier or potato masher to mash the beans until they resemble refried beans.

In a blender, combine 1 cup of soaked cashews, 3/4 cup of water, 1 tablespoon of apple cider vinegar, 1 teaspoon of garlic powder, 1 teaspoon of cumin, 1 teaspoon of paprika, 1/4 teaspoon of chili powder, 1/4 teaspoon of ground turmeric, and 1/2 cup of nutritional yeast.

Blend the mixture until creamy to create a cheese sauce.

Cut sprouted corn tortillas into quarters.

If using an air fryer, preheat it and air fry the tortilla pieces for 10-15 minutes until crispy.

On a plate, layer the crispy tortilla pieces, add the mashed beans, and drizzle with the cheese sauce.

Top with black olives, tomatoes, onions, jalapeños, and your choice of leafy greens like romaine or spinach.

Optionally, mix in or top with salsa for added flavor.
