Recipe Notes

Nutritional information is approximate and was calculated using a recipe nutrition label generator, and is based on 5 generous servings.

For best taste, I recommend using the cashew cheese. It is decadent, creamy and oh so cheesy! For still delicious flavor with lighter nutritional profile, the vegan queso is a great option (shown in photos). Or if you have both in the fridge, feel free to combine them.
