Ingredients
  

To blend:
  • 1 cup raw unsalted cashews soaked*
  • 2 cups unsweetened plain rice milk
  • 2 tbsp tapioca flour (also called tapioca starch)
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1/2 tsp onion powder
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/4 tsp black pepper
  • 1 tbsp lime juice
  • 1/4 cup pickled jalapeño peppers
Other ingredients:
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 10 oz vegan chorizo
  • 1 (14.5 oz) can fire roasted tomatoes
  • 2 tbsp green chilis

Method
 

  1. Blend all ingredients under the To blend section. Set aside.
  2. Heat the oil in a saucepan over medium heat. Add the chorizo and sauté for ~5-7 minutes, until cooked. Add in the blended ingredients, the can of tomatoes, and green chilis to the chorizo. Whisk continuously over heat for 3-5 minutes or so, until the mixture becomes creamy and thick. Scrape the sides, as necessary.
  3. Serve with your favorite tortilla chips. We love high protein Torpillas.

Notes

*Soak your cashews in hot water for 30 minutes prior to using.
