Vegan Queso
Vegan Queso
Ingredients
- ½ Cup raw cashews or uncooked old-fashioned oats for a lower fat and nut-free version (or a combination, say half cashews/half oats)
- 1 Cup vegetable stock
- ½ Cup water
- 3 Tablespoons cornstarch
- ¼ Cup nutritional yeast
- 1 Tablespoon lemon juice or lime juice
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 Tablespoon adobo sauce from a can of chipotle peppers in adobo sauce, or salsa. Use tomato paste if you don't want it spicy.
- 2 oz tomato paste or more adobo or salsa
- 1 clove garlic
Instructions
- Add all ingredients into a blender. Bring the blender to high speed until smooth.
- If you have a high-speed blender, like a Vitamix, just keep the blender running on high until the sauce gets steamy and thick, about 5 minutes. If using a regular blender, pour blended mixture into a saucepan, bring to a boil, and simmer until thick.

Hi Cindy
Can you post the oat recipe for the queso?
It’s right in the recipe. In the line item for cashews it includes using old-fashioned oats instead of cashews. Enjoy!
