OMG it's Tofu Queso (95 Calories 6 Carb) MUST TRY

I modified this from the Ellen Show (10-05-10). Made it for the Superbowl and put it out with the "other" queso. It ran out first. It's a great faux cheese for nachos. The uses are endless. You can add anything to it... Don't forget to add your chips to your tracker. ;-)Submitted by: AMBER353

Thanks girl! The calories might not be exact because I went by memory when I wrote this. I had made this over a week ago and then ate some that I had froze so I had to create the recipe to log my calories. Hope you like it! :)
