EASY VEGAN QUESO
This easy vegan queso is made with a creamy blend of cashews, zesty spices, and savory chili tomatoes. Skip the dairy and enjoy this delicious dip perfect for tortilla chips.
CASHEWS BLENDED UNTIL CREAMY
The star of this queso is the creamy cashew base. Raw or roasted cashews are boiled then blended until smooth with a vibrant blend of lemon juice, zesty taco seasoning, and savory nutritional yeast. This flavorful mixture forms the foundation for the vegan queso, offering a rich and satisfying alternative to traditional cheese dips.
DICED TOMATOES WITH A KICK
We add a simple can of zesty diced tomatoes infusing the queso with a touch of spicy heat. The mixture is then gently heated until everything is melded and warm, creating a vibrant and flavorful vegan queso.
