    How to Make Vegan Queso Blanco

    If you’re looking for an easy queso dip recipe, you’ve come to the right place. By using canned potatoes, we get to eliminate the peeling, chopping, and boiling! Plus, it’s super easy because most of the ingredients might already be in your fridge or pantry.

    To make this dairy-free queso blanco, just place all the ingredients (except the jalapeños) in a high-speed blender and blend on high until creamy. I like to use the soup setting on my Vitamix so that it will blend and heat at the same time. If your queso still needs to be heated after blending, simply transfer to a small pot and heat over medium until warm. Finally, add the diced jalapeños and stir one more time. Make this delicious vegan queso even better, and top with homemade or store-bought pico de Gallo!
