Ingredients
-
Cheesy Sauce/Queso
1 cup cashew nuts, raw
3/4 cup Non-Dairy Yogurt (I prefer almond)
1/3 cup Water, tap
1.5 tsp Smoked Paprika
1.5 tsp Cumin (ground
0.5 tsp Salt
1 cup mild Salsa, Trader Joe’s Roasted Low Sodium
Casserole
6 corn tortillas (6 in) cut into quarters
2 cup kernels Yellow Sweet Corn, Frozen
1.5 cup Low Sodium Pinto Beans
1.5 cup Refried Beans- Homemade low sodium
1 cup mild Salsa, Trader Joe’s Roasted Low Sodium
2 chopped green onions for garnish
Directions
Boil cashews for 5 minutes, then rinse with cold water to cool. Add to blender with 1 cup of salsa, non-dairy yogurt, water, paprika, salt and cumin. Blend til really smooth and creamy. If you want to serve this sauce just as queso, heat it a bit and then serve it.
Put 1/3 of the sauce in a 9x9 casserole dish that has been sprayed with pam. Cut the tortillas into quarters. Put half of them on top of this sauce. Mix your beans together, and put half on top of the cut tortilla pieces. Add 1 cup of the salsa. (This is the ONLY salsa layer in the casserole, otherwise it is too wet) Top salsa with 1 cup frozen sweet corn and another 1/3 of the sauce. Now layer the rest of tortilla pieces, the beans, corn and top with the remaining 1/3 of the sauce. Cover tightly with foil and bake at 375 for 30 minutes. Then remove foil and bake another 15 minutes til golden around the edges. This firms up the cheese sauce a bit.
Top with chopped green onions and serve.
