Cashew Queso

Quick Spanish lesson.
Queso = Cheese.
Chile con Queso = Chile with Cheese.

Chile con queso, also referred to simply as queso, is a popular Tex-Mex dish. It's a creamy cheese dip that also contains chili peppers. It's usually served with tortilla chips and eaten as an appetizer. Traditional cheeses used to make queso include Queso Oaxaca (asadero) and Monterey Jack.

My cashew queso is cheese-free! Hard to make a cheese dip with the 'queso' but this version is just as creamy and cheesy and perfect for people who don't eat dairy.
