Cheesy Nachos

"I love to make things simple and this recipe is exactly that. All you will need for this creamy vegan cheesy sauce is milk, oil, flour and Macro Nutritional Yeast Flakes – my secret cheesy ingredient!

To get more of that cheesy vegan flavour, I've also added onion powder and mustard. You can also spice up this super creamy cheesy sauce so many ways with garlic or fresh herbs. You name it, it works!

This cheesy vegan substitute goes hand in hand with my Mexican Bean Mix using the Macro Certified Organic Mexican Style 3 Bean Mix which is delicious in nachos, tachos or burritos."

Cheesy Nacho Sauce
Serves 4

Ingredients
5 tbsps Woolworths Free From Gluten Plain Flour
4 cups plant based milk of choice (I use soy)
1/2 cup Macro Nutritional Yeast Flakes
6 tbsp vegan butter or Macro Certified Organic Extra Virgin Olive Oil
1 tbsp dijon mustard
1/2 tsp onion powder
Salt and pepper to taste

Method
Heat butter or oil in a saucepan and allow to bubble before sprinkling in flour.
Stir continuously as the flour begins to cook and change colour, add the milk slowly and stir vigorously to avoid any lumps.
Continue to stir until the sauce begins to thicken. If too thick add more milk.
Stir in the mustard, onion powder and nutritional yeast. Season with salt and pepper.

Tip: I love using this sauce as a base with other vegetables such as adding cooked mushrooms for a delicious mushroom sauce.

Drizzle of olive oil

Method
Sauté onions and garlic in fry pan with olive oil until soft.

Tip: This is such a versatile Mexican bean sauce. Add your favourite fresh veggies for some extra nutritional value such as corn, cherry tomatoes, avocados and capsicums.
