Cheesy Vegan Jalapeno Dip

Vegan Jalapeno Poppers

Extra Spicy Recipe Optional

This is a great dip no matter your taste buds...and if you like spicy...this is a great start.

Ingredients

10 large Jalapeno's
4 Tbs Onion Powder
4 Tbs Nutritional Yeast (then to taste)
1.5 Tsp Seasoning Salt
1.5 Tsp Garlic Powder
1 Tsp Paprika
3 Tbs Dried Cilantro
1/2 Tbs Ground Cumin
1 Tsp Cayenne
2 Tsp Lemon Juice
10 oz Garlic Hummus
2 - 7-9oz Bag of cooked riced cauliflower
1 3/4 can of rotel
8 Tbs of Vegan Ranch (I use Walden Farms)
if desired and don't mind oil use fritos and/or scoops
 
     - To add a flavorful spicy flare I add:
                 o Use more or less jalapeno from the recipe to add more or less spice respectively.

How To:

PREP:

STEP 1:
Half the Jalapenos lengthwise and use a grapefruit spoon or something like that to cleanout the insides of it to make a boat for the filling.
- be sure to save the filling including seeds if you wanna make it a spicier affair

STEP 2:
TAILOR FOR EXTRA SPICE
Take the cleaned out filling from the jalapenos and load into a blender and pulse chop until finely chopped.
WARNING:  it is easy for your throat to become irritated by the release of all the oils inside the blender.  So be careful when you are opening the blender and be quick to add to the mix once you do so the concentration of the peppers doesn't cause you an issue.  I typically try to just wait until i'm ready to add it to the filling mix that way it doesn't inundate the air and cause family members any issues.

Step 3
Start assembling the mix - 
Cook the pre-done cauliflower bags and poor them into a mixing bowl.

Step 4:
Open and drain both cans of rotel and poor 1 3/4 can into the mixture

Step 5:
Add the hummus to the mixture

Step 6:
Add all the spices to the mixture and stir until desired consistency.  You don't want it too runny or it wont' setup nicely.

Step 7:
Add all of the jalapeno chopped filling if desiring a nice and spicy version and mix in.  (again be careful of the fumes as they can really irritate the throat and airway etc.) Conversely add only as much of the filling as you want spice and test to make to your liking in terms of spice.

Step 8:
Refridgerate.

Step 9:
Serve and eat

FINALLY:
The best chips for dipping are the frito's scoops.  The corn-chips are really, really good with this dip.

IMPORTANT NOTES:
1. To make thicker you can use more nutritional yeast and onion powder as desired.
2. Change it up to your liking
