INSTRUCTIONS

• Start by making cashew butter for cheese if you don’t have a batch made:
  • Place cashews and salt in the NutraMilk container.
  • Press Butter cycle, set for 5-6 minutes.
  • Press Start.
  • Open the container lid.
  • If necessary, set for an additional 1-2 minutes for a creamier butter.
  • Leave 1/3 cup in the NutraMilk for recipes and store the rest for later use.

• Make plant-based cheese
  • Boil or steam the potatoes and carrots for about 20 minutes or until soft.
  • Drain them and add them to the NutraMilk.
  • Add all the remaining ingredients and process until smooth.
  • Heat in sauce pan a few minutes to warm up.

• Heat a large skillet over medium heat and add olive oil and onion. Cook for 2 minutes and then add the peppers and cauliflower rice. Cook until vegetables are tender, 5-7 minutes.
• Next, add the beans, corn and all the spices. Stir well and then add the chopped tortillas and the enchilada sauce. Mix until everything is combined and cook until everything is heated through, 3-5 minutes.

• Add in the cheese and cook for 1 more minute. Garnish with cilantro if desired and extra cheese.
