Ingredients
2 cups cashews
1/2 -3/4 cup water
1/4 cup nutritional yeast
3 Tbsp. freshly squeezed lemon juice
1 tsp. sea salt
1 tsp. agave nectar
1/2 tsp. paprika
(smoked or sweet)
1/2 tsp. cumin
1/2 tsp. turmeric
1/4 tsp. black pepper
2 chipotle peppers in Adobo sauce, plus 1-3 tsp. of Adobo sauce

Directions
Soak cashews in a bowl of room-temperature water for approximately 2-3 hours. Then, drain and rinse well.
Add the soaked cashews to blender with a cup of water, nutritional yeast, lemon juice, salt, agave syrup, paprika, cumin, turmeric, and black pepper. Blend until everything is smooth and creamy. The mixture may take up to 90 seconds to reach an even consistency. Add the chipotle peppers and continue blending until the mixture takes on a reddish-golden tint.
Taste and drop anywhere between 1-3 teaspoons of Adobo sauce to achieve your desired spice level.
If needed, add between 1-4 more tablespoons of water, for your ideal consistency.
Serve with 313 Urban Chips and enjoy.
