Servings: 10
Equipment
- High Speed Blender
Ingredients
- 1 cup raw cashew peices *
- ½ cup nutritional yeast
- 1 tsp chili powder
- 2 garlic cloves
- ¼ cup Ro-Tel Tomatoes
- ¼ tsp salt
Instructions
- Step 1: Soak 1 cup of raw cashews in water (cover the nuts with just enough water ~ about 3/4 cup). Microwave for 1 minute. Let them cool completely. microwave again for 1 more minute and then add all the warm water, cashews, garlic, chili powder, salt, nutritional yeast into a vitamix or high-speed blender.
- Step 2: Blend. Add a tbsp of hot water as needed to get to desired texture. Make sure the consistency is smooth and to your standard. Slowly add in Ro-Tel tomatoes, slightly driaining out the liquid so you don't make your Vegan Queso watery! Pour into a bowl, top with whatever you'd like and dip away.
Notes
* I prefer raw cashew pieces because they are cheaper, and they soften much faster than whole cashews.
*You can also soak the cashews overnight in water if you prefer to no use the microwave to speed things up.
*Use a Vitamix or high-speed blender to get the best consistency possible.
