It’s the FINAL day of dip week and I think you’re really going to love the last dip that I have in store for you! It’s this VEGAN Tofu Queso and I think it’s going to be your new fav plant based dip :)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This recipe is inspired by the viral Cottage Cheese Queso recipe<\/a> that swept social media recently. It’s pretty much the same recipe BUT with silken tofu instead of cottage cheese. The taste and texture are very similar PLUS it has a comparable amount of protein in it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Why you’ll LOVE this Tofu Nacho Cheese Sauce<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
    \n
  • It’s an EASY vegan recipe -we all love those! It’s great for serving at parties or even just as a side for taco night!<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • It’s nut-free – most vegan cheese sauces have cashews or some other kind of nut in them. While I truly LOVE a good cashew queso, this nut free option is even easier and has less fat in it.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • It’s dairy-free – perfect for those people in your life that don’t like\/ can’t consume dairy :)<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • It’s an amazing vegan cheese option – the cheesy flavor of this queso is SO good and the texture is creamy and smooth!<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n

    Ingredients in this Tofu Queso<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
      \n
    • Silken tofu – I’ve seen some recipes that call for firm or extra firm tofu for a cheese sauce by I’ve found that silken tofu works best. It results in an ULTRA creamy dip plus no pressing of the tofu is required.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    • Lime juice – this is actually optional but I like the little bit of flavor and acidity that it offers.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    • Taco seasoning – I use about 1-2 tablespoons of taco seasoning in this recipe. This is the lazy way of making it but you can obviously make your own taco seasoning as desired (which is a simple mix of spices such as paprika, cumin, onion powder, garlic powder, etc).<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    • Nutritional yeast – this helps give the queso a cheesy flavor.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n
