Cashew Cream Cheeze Sauce

Okay, so this doesn't really taste like cheese. Vegan cheese substitutes never do. It is, however, delicious and satisfies my [more than occasional] cheese cravings, so just think of it as a creamy sauce for your enchiladas or chips or whatever. This is another taken from Oh She Glows. I really like it, but I think Jeff is a little skeptical. Oh well.

For enough for a whole pan of enchiladas or a small bowl of dipping sauce for chips, you'll need:

• 3/4 c raw cashew pieces
• 1/4 c + 1 T nutritional yeast (I order mine from here, but many health food stores carry it in bulk)
• 1/3 c water
• 1/4 c salsa 
• 3 t chili powder
• 1 t cumin
• 1 clove garlic
• 1 t salt
• a couple shakes of red pepper flakes

The steps:

1. Place all in food processor and combine until smooth. You will need to pause a few times to scrape down the sides with a spatula.
2. Taste and adjust seasoning as needed until it's really yummy.
