Easy Vegan Queso

Brittany Roche
Make this incredible vegan queso in 5 minutes flat, no cashew-soaking or even a stove top required! It's creamy and flavorful and just perfect for pouring (slow-mo-style) over all your nachos, tacos, and basically your entire life.?

Equipment

  • 1 small food processor or blender

Ingredients
  

  • 14 oz silken tofu
  • 1/2 cup nutritional yeast
  • 2 chipotle peppers from a can*
  • 2 large cloves garlic
  • 2 Tbsp lemon juice
  • 2 tsp sea salt
  • 1 tsp onion powder

Instructions
 

  • Add all ingredients to a blender or food processor and blend until smooth and creamy. If you're looking for a thinner queso texture, feel free to add some veg broth until it reaches your desired texture. For full flavor yumminess, make the broth with our vegan chicken bouillon powder**.
  • We like to serve this cold, but if you like your queso warmed, you can do so on the stove. If you're warming it, I definitely suggest adding a little of the aforementioned broth first. Serve with chips as a dip or poured over tacos. Enjoy!

Notes

*You can find canned chipotle peppers with the other Goya products at your grocery store. We also find them at Target with the rest of the canned goods.
