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!
What to Serve with Queso
This dairy-free queso is delicious as a dip but you can also make some other amazing dishes with it. Try any of the following:
- Nachos
- Burritos
- Enchiladas
- Tacos
- Mac & Cheese
- Chipotle Bowl
- Chili
- Chili Cheese Fries
- French Fries
- Sweet Potato Wedges
- Burgers
- Tostadas
- Fajitas
- Casseroles
- Any Other Tex-Mex Dish
There’s really no compromise when it comes to vegan cooking. It’s better for us, for the animals, and for our environment, so make this vegan queso and share it with someone you love – whether they’re vegan or not!
