This nacho cheese sauce lacks absolutely nothing when it comes to the taste experience!! It is one of the easiest-to-make vegan cheese options out there. To make the best vegan nacho on the planet, you'll need these main ingredients: Tortilla chips; Beans (I prefer using bean dip because it's more flavorful, and doesn't fall off the chips); Vegan Cheese (try my Cashew Queso, Sweet Potato Queso, or basic Vegan Cheese Sauce); Jalapeños (I like to use the jarred kind, but this is optional) The Nacho cheese Sauce is very addictive. I make some to serve up with crackers, veggies or tortilla chips. Make my cashew based Nacho cheese sauce from this post.
