How to make Taco Bell's nacho cheese but vegan! It's delicious, and it looks and tastes the same as Taco Bells'!
Ingredients
- 2.5 cups soy milk
- 1 can chickpeas
- 1/4 cup chickpea flour
- 1/4 cup nutritional yeast
- pinch salt
- 1 tsp lactic acid
- 1 tsp citric acid
- 3 tbsp jalapenos
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- pinch annatto
- .5 tsp paprika
- 1/4 tsp cayenne pepper
- carrots
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- .5 tsp xanthan gum
- .5 tsp onion powder
- 1 tbsp vegan butter
Instructions
- Drain the can of chickpeas, wash them, rinse them, and try to remove some of the skins.
- Blend together chickpeas, chickpea flour, soy milk, nutritional yeast, salt, lactic acid, citric acid, pickled jalapenos, olive oil, annatto, paprika and cayenne pepper.
- I opened the blender, tasted it and realized I needed to add shredded carrots (microwave them in water), more jalapenos, xanthan gum, garlic powder and onion powder. I added this all in then blended some more.
- I transfer this over to the stove and let it cook on low heat for 15 minutes.
- Add in vegan butter and soy milk and whisk it in. Add more olive oil and soy milk until the consistency is right. Enjoy!
