Smoky Vegan Queso

• 3 cups raw soaked cashews (or boil in water for 10-15 minutes to soften)
• 5 tbsp nutritional yeast
• Juice from 1 large lemon
• ½ tsp salt
• 1 tsp garlic powder
• 5 tsp adobo chili paste
• ½ cup plain unsweetened non dairy milk
• 1 10 oz can diced tomatoes and green chilis

1. To a high speed blender add all ingredients. Blend on high until smooth.
2. Add more non-dairy milk if you want a thinner consistency, taste and adjust seasoning to your preferences, adding more chili paste for a spicier and smokier flavor.
3. Heat a medium size saucepan on low, pour your queso into your saucepan and heat until warm, stirring frequently. You do not need to “cook” the queso, this is just to warm it up before serving.
4. Serve warm with chips, on tacos or nachos, and enjoy!
