Vegan Green Chile Cheese Sauce
Serve this easy, green chile cheese sauce on everything from nachos to burgers to pasta or even as a stand-alone dip.
This easy, cheesy sauce makes a great dip to serve along with these Air-Fried Shishito Peppers.
The best part is that it can easily be customized to suit personal taste and heat preference.
I’ve been known to stir in a little fresh salsa, black beans, or just a few dashes of cayenne pepper sauce.
It’s all good!
