Imagine - creamy, smoky, spicy queso WITHOUT ANY CHEESE OR DAIRY!
Ingredients:
1 cup raw unsalted cashews
1 cup hot (boiling) water
1-4 canned whole chipotles in adobo (in Latin section of any grocery store)
4 peeled cloves raw garlic
1/4 cup lime juice
1 tsp salt
Make it:
Add everything to a high-speed blender and blend on high for 60 seconds until creamy. Store in the fridge for up to 2 weeks.
I use 3 whole chipotle peppers from the can for a medium spice and heat level, so adjust for your taste! Simply amazing on grilled vegetables, fish, meats or in tacos! Sometimes we dip raw veggies and chips!
I make a similar sauce with almonds & garlic for my roasted cauliflower tacos: https://minimalistbaker.com/roasted-cauliflower-tacos-with-chipotle-romesco/
