In a bowl filled with just boiled water, soak your cashews for about 30-45 minutes, until soft.

Make your Queso: Once soft, drain and rinse the cashews and add to a blender along with the water, nutritional yeast, ½ tsp smoked paprika, ¼ tsp cumin, ½ tsp chili powder, turmeric and ¼ tsp kosher salt. Blend on high until smooth and creamy, adding more water as needed to thin. Set aside.
