Provided by Food Network Kitchen

Time 45m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 16

One 10-ounce can diced tomatoes with green chiles
1 cup raw cashews
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon onion powder
1/2 teaspoon chili powder
1/2 teaspoon turmeric powder
1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
Kosher salt
1/4 cup nutritional yeast
1 tablespoon chopped jarred roasted red peppers, drained
1/2 tablespoon distilled white vinegar
2 teaspoons hot sauce
1 small jalapenos, thinly sliced, seed removed if desired
2 tablespoons fresh cilantro leaves
Tortilla chips, for serving

Steps:

  • Place a fine-mesh sieve over a large liquid measuring cup. Pour the tomatoes and green chiles into the sieve and press with a spatula to squeeze out all the liquid (about 1/2 cup). Put the tomatoes and green chiles into a small bowl and set aside.
  • Combine the reserved liquid, cashews, cumin, garlic powder, onion powder, chili powder, turmeric, cayenne, 1 teaspoon salt and 3/4 cup water in a 9-inch skillet over high heat. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat to a simmer and let cook, stirring occasionally, until the cashews are tender, about 10 minutes.
  • Transfer the mixture to a high-powered blender. Add the nutritional yeast, roasted red peppers, vinegar, hot sauce, 2 tablespoons of the reserved tomatoes and green chiles and 1 cup water. Blend until smooth and creamy, scraping down the sides of the blender as needed.
  • Transfer the mixture back to the cast-iron skillet. Heat gently over low heat, stirring occasionally, until thickened and scoopable, about 10 minutes.
  • Garnish with the remaining tomatoes and green chiles, the jalapenos and cilantro.
  • Serve with tortilla chips.
