Ingredients

  • Cheese Dip:
  • 2 cups of smooth silken tofu
  • 1 can (15 ounces) of drained sliced carrots
  • 2 tablespoons of taco seasoning blend
  • 2 teaspoons of nutritional yeast
  • 2 teaspoons of onion powder
  • 2 teaspoons of garlic powder
  • 2 tablespoons of oil, or more if required
  • 1 package (12 ounces) of vegetarian beef crumbles
  • 1 package (13 ounces) of tortilla chips

Step 1

Mix together tofu, carrots, vibrant taco seasoning, nutritional yeast, aromatic onion powder, and flavorful garlic powder in a blender or food processor until a velvety consistency is achieved.

Step 2

Pour the resulting queso into a small saucepan and gently warm over medium heat until it reaches a delightful serving temperature, which typically takes about 5 to 10 minutes.

Step 3

Meanwhile, in a separate skillet, heat up some oil over medium heat. Toss in the vegetarian crumbles and sauté them until they turn a lovely golden brown hue, usually around 8 to 10 minutes.

Present a platter of tortilla chips on individual plates, generously topped with the savory cooked crumbles and the piping hot queso sauce for a delicious and satisfying snack.
