Chili con Queso (dairy free)
All the flavors of a traditional chili con queso, but make it dairy free! I've used Maizly corn milk and a bit of nutritional yeast for that kiss of "cheesiness" and the combo did not disappoint! The heat level is up to you, simply lessen or omit the medley of peppers I've used here, but promise it's not overly spicy!
