We all know and love queso, but have you tried Cowgirl Queso? This version is packed with the cheesy goodness you know and love (except this one is vegan) plus corn, tomatoes, beans, onions, and fresh cilantro! It makes for a great dip with chips or cut vegetables.. This is a great weekend appetizer that is cheesy and delicious and is 100% plant based and dairy free!
To make this recipe, you will need:
- 10’’ Skillet or Pan
- Olive Oil
- Yellow Onion
- Black Beans: you can also use kidney beans or a bean trio
- Tomatoes: any variety works, since you will dice them
- Corn: make sure this is cooked, but you can use fresh, frozen, or canned
- Cheese Sauce: my favorite is Core & Rind Sharp and Tangy sauce because it is vegan and made with real ingredients and is absolutely delicious. You can use any queso or cheese sauce, just be sure to look at the ingredient label and try to find one without added sugars!
