Ingredients
  

  • 1/2 Orange Bell Pepper diced
  • 3/4 Cup Raw Cashews soaked overnight
  • 1/2 Cup Water
  • 1/4 Cup Nutritional Yeast
  • 2 Tbs Extra Virgin Olive Oil
  • 1/4 Tsp Chili Powder
  • 1/2 Tsp Salt
  • 1 Chipotle Pepper in adobo sauce
  • 1 Tbs Adobo Sauce

Instructions
 

  • Prep your cashews by soaking them overnight. If you don't have time, or forgot, boil the cashews for 10 minutes until soft.
  • Add all ingredients into a high-speed blender and blend until sauce is completely smooth and creamy.
  • Serve with salsa, jalapeños, or any other toppings you like.
  • Enjoy!

Notes

  • You can find chipotle peppers in adobo sauce usually in the International foods aisle at the grocery store. 
  • This queso is DYNAMITE with pretty much any veggie burger. But also classic with chips and salsa!
  • Cashew-based quesos don't reheat well in the microwave. To reheat, simmer queso in a small saucepan, STIRRING CONSTANTLY. 
  • Queso will keep in the fridge for about 2-3 days.
