Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup raw cashews
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 + 1/2 cup almond milk
  • 1/4 cup nutritional yeast
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 2 tbsp cornstarch
  • 1/2 tsp smoked paprika
  • 1/4 cup sun-dried tomatoes
  • Jalapeno for garnish

Instructions
 

  • Soak cashews for 1 hour in boiling water.
  • Place soaked cashews, 1 cup almond milk, nutritional yeast, salt, smoked paprika and sundried tomatoes in a high-speed food processor and blend until smooth. Set aside.
  • Place olive oil and cornstarch in a non-stick saucepan and stir to combine. Then add the cashew mixture to the saucepan. 
  • Cook the vegan cashew queso for a few minutes until it’s well combined. Be sure to stir continuously so that it doesn’t burn. The result should be like soft cashew cheese.
  • If it gets too hard it just means it’s been overcooked a little. If this happens, you can add a little more almond milk and it should come right again.
  • Serve warm with a few slices of jalapeño on top and corn chips on the side.
