These 3 Ingredient Vegan Queso are SO delicious and creamy with no frills, no fuss, no hard-to-find ingredients! Just cashews, taco spices, and green chiles.
Some recipes I saw recommended soaking the cashews, but I found that I was able to get a really smooth and creamy result with NO soaking! And I’m all about the easy. If you have a good blender, in my experience, you don’t really need to soak them.
A high-speed blender (Blentec, Vitamix, Ninja, or similar) would be best here! If you don’t have one, I think it could still work, but A) you might get some nutty texture to your queso (not necessarily a bad thing, it still tastes great) or B) you might find a benefit to soaking the cashews.
Ingredients:
- 1 cup cashews
- 1/2 cup water
- 4 ounce can diced green chiles (or less, to taste)
- 1 teaspoon taco seasoning (add a pinch of salt if it’s unsalted)
Instructions:
- Blend on a high setting until you get a very smooth and creamy texture. Taste and adjust to how you like it.
- Use it as chip dip, a sauce for roasted vegetables, or just smother it on your tacos, burritos, and crunchwraps.
