The Ultimate Plant Based Taco Sauce Recipe Instructions:
Heat It Up: Start by heating up 1 cup of water. We want it hot, but not boiling.
Mix It Up: Pour the hot water into your blender. Add 1 cup of raw cashews, 1 tablespoon of soy sauce, and 1 tablespoon of white vinegar. Top it off with the smoky goodness of 1 tablespoon of canned chipotle peppers in adobo sauce.
Blend and Chill: Blend the mixture for a quick 15 seconds. Then, pause! Open the blender carefully to release the steam (hot water + pressure = potential mess). Let it sit for about 30 seconds – just enough time to imagine how incredible this sauce is going to taste.
Final Blend: Close the blender and blend everything for 2 minutes until you achieve a smooth and creamy consistency. Trust me, your patience (all 120 seconds of it) will be rewarded.
Let Sit for 2 Minutes: As the sauce cools it will thicken to a perfect creamy texture.
