You won’t miss a traditional nacho sauce after you try this recipe, especially since it’s so easy to make.
We like to keep a container of this in the refrigerator so it’ always on hand for topping baked potatoes, tacos, pizza, or tortilla chips.

Recipe Notes
Kim’s Hint: If you want to reduce the quantity of cashews, use ¼ cup and add 1 tablespoon cornstarch to the blender. For a completely nut-free version, replace the cashews with 2 cups mashed sweet potatoes, use an unsweetened plant-based milk instead of the water, and add 2 tablespoons cornstarch. You may find that this version does not pack the punch of the original
