A dairy-free easy plant based Queso Sauce  made with creamy cashews that delivers a rich and satisfying flavour.

Instructions 

Blend all sauce ingredients. Takes a few minutes and you’ll probably need to scrape down the sides a couple of times and keep blending until it turns into a nice creamy sauce.

3. Whip Up the Creamy Guacamole:

In a bowl, mash ripe avocados with lime juice, and 1 teaspoon of Flavourista Souly Guacamole Spice. Mix well until creamy.  It’s as easy as that.

4. Assemble Your Plant-Based Nachos:

I pop everything in bowls on the table so everyone can build their own nachos the way they like them.  But if you need an idea on a dinner plate, arrange a layer of tortilla chips. Spoon the homemade Mexican Beans over the chips, followed by lettuce and tomato.  Then add a big dollop of the queso sauce. Follow this with a dollop of creamy guacamole on top.

5. Add Optional Toppings:

For an extra burst of flavour and colour, sprinkle with pickled chillies, and drizzle with sweet chilli sauce and anything else you might desire.  


6. Serve and Enjoy:

Serve your plant-based nachos immediately with just a fork if needed because eating with your fingers is the best.  Make sure you have serviettes, 😂 Have fun eating and digging in, making  sure you savour the delicious layers of flavours and textures in every bite.

With this recipe, you can enjoy indulgent plant-based nachos that are perfect for sitting around the table with family and friends. These nachos are a tasty and wholesome alternative that will leave you craving more. Get creative with your toppings and customise them to your liking for a mouthwatering experience!
