Dairy-free and less indulgent than what typically tops nachos. No less addictive! So what are you waiting for? Get to dippin'!

1 tablespoon non-dairy butter substitute (I used plant butter.)

1 tablespoon sweet rice flour or all-purpose flour

1/4 cup Nutritional Yeast Powder

3/4 cup unsweetened, non-flavored almond milk, divided

1/2 teaspoon Garlic Granules

1/2 teaspoon Ground Mustard

1/4 teaspoon Onion Powder

1/4 teaspoon Black Pepper

1/4 teaspoon Chili Powder

In a saucepan, melt the butter substitute over medium-low heat. Whisk in the flour of your choice and cook for 1 minute. Add the nutritional yeast and 1/4 cup of the milk. Whisk until the mixture is smooth.

Pour in remaining 1/2 cup milk and add seasonings. Continue to whisk and cook over medium-low heat until the cheese sauce has thickened, 4-5 minutes. Taste and adjust seasonings as desired.

To make nachos, drizzle over a bowl of tortilla chips and add your favorite toppings like black beans, diced tomatoes, avocado, bell peppers, onion, etc. We actually made brisket tacos tonight for supper and we drizzled it over the brisket.
