<\/p>\n What can\u2019t<\/em> you turn into queso!? We\u2019ve made cashews<\/a> and eggplant<\/a> into \u201ccheesy\u201d queso-like dips, so why not try a protein- and fiber-packed twist with white beans? Spoiler alert: Success! Friends, meet our new favorite creamy dip: white bean<\/em> queso!<\/p>\n It\u2019s vegan, gluten-free, SO satisfying + snack-able, and easy to make, too! Just 9 ingredients<\/strong> and 30 minutes<\/strong> required. Grab your favorite chips and let\u2019s do this!<\/p>\n <\/p>\n It begins with roasting jalape\u00f1o and garlic, which lessens their intensity and brings out their natural sweetness + richness.<\/p>\n Next we cook the white beans in their canning liquid, which makes the skins more smooth, resulting an ultra creamy queso<\/strong>! <\/p>\n *Note: While queso<\/em> translates to \u201ccheese,\u201d this is our inspired, vegan version with no cheese in sight. You can learn more about the history and origins of classic queso here<\/a>.<\/p>\n Then into the food processor<\/a> the white beans go, along with the roasted garlic + peppers, plus nutritional yeast for cheesiness, smoked paprika for smokiness, cashew butter for creaminess, and salt to bring it all together.<\/p>\n A few swirls in the food processor and you\u2019ve got QUESO!<\/p>\n We can\u2019t WAIT for you to try this vegan white bean \u201cqueso\u201d! It\u2019s:<\/p>\n Creamy This dip is begging to be served with tortilla chips, but it knows no boundaries. Use it for nachos<\/a>, bowls<\/a>, burritos, and more! It also wouldn\u2019t complain about being at a party with our Fresh Strawberry Margarita (5 Minutes)<\/a><\/strong>, Perfect Roasted Plantains<\/a><\/strong>, and 1-Pot Chipotle Black Bean Chili<\/a><\/strong>.
