Ingredients Equipment Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 3/4 cup raw cashews soaked for at least one hour
  • 1/2 cup filtered water
  • 1/4 cup nutritional yeast
  • 2 Tbsp canned mild green chiles chopped
  • 2 tsp mellow white miso paste
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1 tsp cumin
  • 1/2 tsp turmeric optional
  • 1/2 tsp sea salt
  • 1 piece roasted red pepper optional, for a more orange-y color

Equipment

  • high speed blender

Method
 

  1. Combine the nacho cheese ingredients in a food processor or blender and process until smooth. I thought it tasted amazing, warmed up. But you can also serve it room temperature.
    Use this nacho cheese sauce on everything from nachos, to tacos, burritos, wraps, salads, or even as a dipping sauce.
