Ingredients

• 1½ cups cashews, soaked for at least an 1 hour, drained
• 1 orange bell pepper, roughly chopped
• 1 cup unsweetened dairy-free milk (I used light coconut)
• 2 teaspoons chili powder
• ¼ cup nutritional yeast

• ½ cup salsa

Directions

• Drain and rinse the soaked cashews. Place the cashews, orange bell pepper, milk, chili powder, and nutritional yeast in a high powered blender. Puree until thick and creamy, about 3-4 minutes.
• In a large saucepan over medium high heat, add the minced onion & ground beef and cook until beef is browned. Add taco seasoning and fresh salsa and stir to combine.
• Add in the cheese sauce and stir until combined and heated through. Season to taste with salt/pepper if needed. Serve with veggies or chips!
