Recipe Notes

*Sub vegan mayo for the Savory Cashew Cream, if desired (nutrition facts will change of course). If you don't want to have the savory cashew cream left over (are you all right?), you can make just enough for this recipe by blending together 1 cup of raw cashews, 1/2 cup water, 1/2 T. white wine vinegar or apple cider vinegar, 1/2 t. salt, and 1/2 T. nutritional yeast along with the chipotle puree, lime juice, and garlic before proceeding with the recipe.
