friends, family, or just for you.
Phase 3 | Makes about 1 1/2 cups
Prep time: 15 minutes | Total time: About 3 hours (including soaking time)
INGREDIENTS
Spelt tortillas—about 1 per person
1 1/2 cups orange or red bell pepper (or a combination)
1 cup raw cashews, soaked in water for at least 2 hours
1/4 cup nutritional yeast
1/4 cup canned green chilies
1 tsp. sea salt
1/2 tsp. garlic, minced
1/4 tsp. turmeric powder
1/4 tsp. onion powder
1/2 tsp. dry mustard
1/4 cup olive oil
Optional toppings:
Black, pinto, white, or kidney beans
Sliced jalapenos
Red onions
Salsa
Guacamole
Coconut sour cream
Shredded chicken
Sliced flank steak
Ground turkey
Steamed shrimp
DIRECTIONS
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees. Cut the spelt tortillas in wedges with a sharp knife or a pizza cuter. Put them on a baking sheet and bake for about 10 minutes, or until they are your desired level of crispy.
- While the tortilla chips are baking, make the cheese sauce. Begin by coring, seeding, and chopping the peppers. Add them to a blender.
- On top of the peppers, add the cashews, nutritional yeast, green chilies, salt, garlic, and spices to the blender.
- Blend until smooth and creamy, about 5 minutes (depending on the power of your blender).
- Once smooth, continue blending as you drizzle in the olive oil until just combined. Taste and adjust seasonings if desired.
- Arrange the crispy tortilla chips on a plate. Top with any toppings you like, then drizzle with the cheese sauce.
- Store any extra cheese sauce in an airtight glass container in the fridge for up to a week.
