Apple Pie Applesauce
Queso Dip
| By : |
I've been a big nacho sauce or queso and chips fan for as long as I can remember. If it was on a menu, I ordered it. After going gluten-free, and then grain-free, I learned that most of those saucy cheese dishes use wheat flour to help them stay viscous and not stringy like normal melted cheese. Then I went dairy-free and my beloved queso was out completely. I normally use Terra brand taro chips or plantain chips to enjoy this with, but it also is delicious with carrot sticks. Drizzle it over chips, with a scoop of fresh guac on there and some red onions, and you have full-blown nachos!

Recipe Notes
Tidbits
White russet potatoes will also work if you tolerate them. Orange fleshed sweet potatoes will also work but will make this a little sweeter. I use ghee in this for the buttery flavor, but it does have trace amounts of lactose and casein. To make this dairy-free, substitute avocado oil in place of the ghee. Tapioca starch will make this sauce more “stretchy” like real cheese, but we tolerate arrowroot better.
