Beyond Better Black Bean Queso

Whip up this Queso Dip in just minutes, and gets raves wherever you take it. No one will suspect that it isn’t made with cheese from a cow. Aside from being mildly addictive, it is highly nutritious. I habitually bring it to social gatherings, happy in the knowledge that I will be eating something healthy and satisfying. Unless it all gets eaten first! Then I guess I’m just happy knowing my friends enjoyed it.

Ingredients

  • 1 Package of Beyond Better Cashew Cheese or Sunflower Cheese Mix
  • 1 1/4 Cups water
  • 1 Cup cooked, unsalted (if canned)
  • Black Beans, rinsed and drained
  • 1 – 7 oz. Can Tomato and Green Chilies, drained
  • 1 tsp. Cumin, optional

Directions

  1. Add 1 1/4 cups water to medium saucepan and steadily sprinkle Beyond Better Cheese Mix into the water while stirring with a fork.
  2. Place over medium high heat and bring to a boil while stirring with a spoon. Stir about 30 seconds to 1 minute more and remove from heat. It will be quite thick.
  3. Add black beans, salsa veggies and cumin, and stir to combine. Serve warm or at room temperature with your favorite Chips or Crackers.

Variations:

  • Use Beyond Better Spicy Queso Dip Mix, and use mild salsa or chopped tomato instead of canned salsa veggies.
  • Use Sauteed fresh chopped green chilies and chopped onions, plus fresh chopped tomatoes (drained) instead of canned salsa veggies.
  • Use one cup chunky salsa (Medium or Hot) in place of canned salsa veggies.

  • "Looking for vegan, gluten free, soy free, corn free products I came upon this awesome and excellent nut cheese sauce. I've had it for dipping, as salsa, and as pasta sauce. ALL are excellent. Highly recommended."

  • "Best cheese alternative this vegan has found."

  • "I found out a few years ago that I have a dairy protein allergy and trying to find dairy alternatives that taste good can be a challenge. I have to say the Cashew Spicy Queso is FABULOUS! I haven't tried the other flavors yet but if they're anything like this I'll definitely be ordering these again and again!"

  • "My favorite vegan cheese. My quest has ended."

  • "Way yummy!!!! Super easy to whip up a batch. Resealable bag. Powder mix, so you can make how much you want and it won't go bad. Dairy free, gluten free and made from cashews. If you have a tree nut allergy, they make one with sunflower seeds. Still beyond yummy!"
