The Best Vegan Queso Recipes
BEST-EVER VEGAN QUESO RECIPE
This vegan queso recipe is so easy and delicious! It will make the perfect side for taco night, or you can whip up a big batch and eat it as dinner with tortilla chips in front of the TV, I won't judge you! The secret ingredient for a creamy texture is potato and the spices shouldn't be skipped for a tasty flavor!

Steps:
- Heat oil in a large pan over medium heat. Add the onion and cook until transparent, around 6 minutes. Add the shredded potato and garlic clove and cook for 2 more minutes, until potato is lightly cooked and garlic is fragrant. Mix in the cashews, stock, paprika, chili powder, garlic powder, cumin, oregano and hot sauce and simmer for around 5 minutes. Transfer to a blender, add the vinegar, nutritional yeast and salt and pepper and pulse until creamy. If the mixture is too thick add 1/4 more water. Add in more spices if necessary and blend for 1 more minute. Optional: Transfer to a skillet and bake for 15 minutes at 350 degrees. I find that doing this intensifies more the flavors but it's definitely not a must.
VEGAN QUESO
A cashew-based queso dip that has tons of flavor and would fool even the pickiest of queso aficionados! This recipe is best made in a high powered blender (I have a Vitamix®). I cannot say what it would be like in something different! Enjoy with tortilla chips or homemade salsa.

Steps:
- In a high-speed blender, or food processor, combine the cashews, water, salt, lemon juice, nutritional yeast, turmeric, and the liquid from the can of diced tomatoes and green chiles. (I was able to get about 1/4 cup of liquid from the can.)
- Blend until a smooth and creamy "cheese" sauce is created, adding a tablespoon or two more water, if needed for blending. Transfer the cheese mixture to a large bowl, then stir in the can of diced tomatoes and green chiles.
- At this point, be sure to adjust any flavors to your taste, then warm the dip using a small crock pot, or by heating it gently over a stove top. As the dip is warmed, it becomes even more authentic. Serve with baked tortilla chips and fresh sliced veggies.

- In a large saucepan, warm the olive oil over medium heat. Add the onion and a pinch of salt and cook, stirring often, until the onion is tender and turning translucent, about 5 minutes.
- Add the grated potato, garlic, paprika, chili powder, cumin, garlic powder, onion powder and salt. Stir to combine, and cook, stirring constantly, for 1 to 2 minutes to enhance their flavors.
- Add the cashews and water, and stir to combine. Let the mixture come to a simmer. Continue simmering, stirring frequently and reducing heat as necessary to avoid a rapid boil, until the potatoes are completely tender and cooked through, about 5 to 8 minutes.
- Carefully pour the mixture into a blender, but keep the pot handy for later. Add the nutritional yeast, sun-dried tomatoes, hot sauce and vinegar. Blend until the mixture is completely smooth, about 2 minutes, stopping to scrape down the sides if necessary. If the mixture won’t blend easily or if you would prefer a thinner consistency, add water in 1/4 cup increments, blending after each one.

- I like to soak my cashews covered in hot water for 5 minutes. This helps them soften up nicely and blend into pure creamy perfect. To help with digestion, it’s recommended to soak them for up to 2 hours in cool water. Soaking can be optional.
- Add the cashews, 1/2 cup water, garlic, nutritional yeast, cumin, chili powder, and salt to the blender cup. Blend until creamy, about 1 – 2 minutes, stopping to scrape down the sides as needed. Add more water as needed. Taste for flavor.
- . For a warm vegan queso, pour queso dip into an oven safe bowl, cover with tin foil, and place in a preheated oven set to 350 degrees F. for 10 – 15 minutes. Alternatively, warm in the microwave, uncovered, using 30 second intervals, stirring after each until warmed through.
- Serve warm or at room temperature with your favorite tortilla chips or veggie sticks. For color and texture top with sliced or diced, jalapeno, red bell pepper, tomatoes, green onions and/or cilantro.

- Combine the cashews, onion, carrot, and water in a small saucepan and bring to a boil over medium heat. Cover, reduce the heat slightly, and simmer for 15 minutes, until the carrots are very tender.
- Pour the contents of the saucepan (including the water) into a high speed blender. Add the chili powder, paprika, jalapeño, salt, lemon juice, nutritional yeast, and a splash of water.
- Blend the vegan queso until creamy and smooth. Adjust the seasonings to taste - add more nutritional yeast for more “cheesy” flavor, lemon juice to brighten, or salt to amplify the overall taste. I added another teaspoon of nutritional yeast and an extra pinch of salt. If you want your queso a little bit spicier, add more jalapeño or a pinch of cayenne pepper.
- If you’re adding soy chorizo, preheat a cast iron skillet over medium heat. Add the soy chorizo and sauté until completely heated through, about 5 minutes.

- Add all ingredients to a blender (starting with the lesser amount of water) and blend until creamy, adding more water as needed to blend until creamy and smooth. We recommend a small blender (we prefer the NutriBullet), or a high-speed blender. Add just enough water to achieve a creamy, pourable queso. If it gets too thin, thicken with additional raw cashews.
- Taste and adjust flavor as needed, adding more nutritional yeast for cheesiness, salt to taste, cumin for smokiness, chili powder or harissa for heat, or garlic for zing. It should be quite flavorful, so don't be shy.
- Serve with chips or add to things like tacos, nachos, burritos, and more! Garnish with additional harissa or a spoonful of fresh salsa or hot sauce for serving (optional).
- Store leftovers covered in the refrigerator up to 5-7 days, or in the freezer up to 1 month. To thaw from frozen, set in refrigerator for 24-48 hours. Reheat in microwave or in a small saucepan over medium-low heat. Add more water as needed if it thickens when reheating.
