Ingredients

Units
  • 1 cans cannellini beans
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 0.5 onions onion
  • 0.5 - 1 jalapenos jalapeno
  • 2 cloves garlic
  • 1.5 cups (355 ml) nondairy unsweetened milk
  • 1 tbsp tapioca starch
  • 1 tbsp white miso
  • 2 tbsp nutritional yeast
  • 0.5 tsp smoked paprika
  • 0.5 tsp turmeric
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1-2 tsp salt
  • 1 tsp cumin
  • guacamole, soy chorizo, and fresh cilantro

Instructions

  • In a medium pot over medium-high heat, add the oil, onion, garlic, and jalapeno.
  • Cook, stirring often, until the vegetables are soft and starting to become golden brown.
  • Add the drained can of beans and reduce heat to medium-low.
  • In a small bowl, whisk together about 1/2 cup of the milk and the tapioca starch until smooth.
  • Add the remaining milk (including the tapioca mixture) to the bean and vegetable mixture.
  • Add the remaining spices, nutritional yeast, and miso. Reduce heat to low and stir frequently until the beans are soft and mushy, and the mixture thickens (15-20 minutes).
  • Use an immersion blender or pour the mixture into a blender and pulse until smooth and creamy. Add a little more milk if needed.
  • Serve hot with soyrizo, guacamole, and fresh cilantro.
  • Stir in a can of drained Rotel after blending, if desired.

Notes

  • For a smoother queso, blend until completely smooth; you may need to add a tablespoon or two of extra milk.
  • To adjust the spice level, start with half a jalapeño and add more to taste.
  • Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat gently on the stovetop.
