Preparation

Step 1

BLACK BEAN PUREE:

Blend all ingredients in food processor, leave a little chunky. Place at the bottom of the dish.

CHEESE SAUCE:

Now assemble your cheese sauce ingredients (cashews, almond milk, garlic, lemon, salt, yeast, pepper, mustard) and add just the cashews to food processor. Process until a fine crumb forms similar to corn meal. Now add in the rest of the cheese sauce ingredients and process until smooth. Layer on top of the bean puree.

SPINACH:

Place chopped spinach greens on top of the cheesy layer.

GUACOMOLE:

Cut your avocados in half and remove the pits. Roughly chop the avocado flesh and then take a fork and mash it up until you have the consistency that you want. I like to leave lots of big chunks in there! Now add 1 cup of Pico de Gallo and mix gently. Season with kosher salt to taste. Spread on spinach layer.

SOUR CREAM:

Mix sour cream and taco seasoning together. Spread on top of guacamole layer.

PICO DE GALLO:

Finely chop the onion, tomatoes, and hot pepper. Note that the seeds inside the hot pepper are the most heat-producing, so you can remove the seeds if you don’t want it super hot. Remove thick stems of the Cilantro and then roughly chop. Mix the onion, tomato, hot pepper, and Cilantro in a bowl and squeeze fresh lime juice on top. Stir well and then season with kosher salt to taste. Spread on top.

Sprinkle with Green Onions
