ingredients
- 2 russet potatoes, scrubbed
- 1 1/2 canned chipotle peppers in adobo, chopped, plus one teaspoon adobo sauce
- 1/4 cup vegan mayo
- 3/4 teaspoon lime juice
- 1 tablespoon olive oil, more as needed
- salt, to taste
- black pepper, to taste
- 4 slices of Vevan Ched-Melts
- 1 1/2 slices of Vevan P'Jack-Melts
- 1/3 cup soy chorizo, cooked, more as needed
- 1/3 cup black beans, cooked
- 1 green onion, thinly sliced
- 1/2 tablespoon cilantro, chopped
- 1/2 teaspoon jalapeno, finely chopped, optional
Method
Step 1
Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.
Step 2
Cut potatoes into ¼-inch thick strips. Add fries to a large bowl of cold water, and soak for about 30 minutes.
Step 3
While fries soak, make chipotle sauce. In a blender or food processor, blitz chopped chipotle peppers, adobo sauce, vegan mayo, and lime juice until smooth. Transfer to a bowl, cover and chill.
Step 4
Drain potatoes and dry thoroughly. Toss potatoes with olive oil, salt and pepper. Place fries on a parchment-lined baking sheet, and bake for 30 minutes. Alternately, bake in an air fryer at 400 degrees F for 10-15 minutes until crispy. Increase oven temperature to 425 degrees F.
Step 5
Arrange fries in a 9x13 baking dish, top with Vevan Ched-Melts and Vevan P'Jack-Melts, and bake for 7-10 minutes, or until Melts are melted and gooey. If using an air fryer, skip the baking dish and top the fries with cheese in the air fryer basket and bake until melted.
Step 6
Top fries with soy chorizo and black beans, and bake for a few more minutes until warm.
Step 7
Remove from the oven, top with chipotle sauce, green onions, cilantro, and jalapeños. Enjoy immediately!
