Make the potatoes
Preheat oven to 400°F.
Wash the potatoes and slice each lengthwise, about 1/4-1/8 inch thin.
Place the potatoes on a lined baking sheet.
Mix together the oil, garlic powder, chili powder & salt.
Brush the oil mixture on to the potato slices.
Bake for ~20 minutes (longer if the potatoes are thicker and not crispy, you want them to be almost like a chip).
Make the jackfruit mixture
Rinse and drain the jackfruit. Squeeze out any excess water.
Chop the jackfruit into small pieces.
Heat the olive oil on low-medium heat in a medium-sized saucepan.
Mix in the jackfruit. Cook for about 5 minutes.
Sprinkle on the taco seasoning and stir, slowly adding the water so the seasoning coats the jackfruit evenly. Cook for 2 minutes.
Mix in the beans and frozen corn. Cook for another 3-5 minutes.
Take the potatoes out of the oven once they are done cooking.
Assemble the nachos
Place the potatoes flat on a plate. Top with jackfruit mixture, onions, salsa, avocado, homemade queso and lettuce.
