Key Ingredients

- Rotel - is the brand name of a canned blend of diced tomatoes, peppers and spices. It gives the dip a nice flavor with a mild spicy kick. In a pinch, Rotel can be substituted with any kind of salsa.
- White Beans - makes the dip creamy and gives you a great protein boost.
- Non-Diary cream cheese - makes the dip so creamy and smooth.
- Non-Dairy Milk - helps create smooth creamy base.
- Vegan Cheddar Cheese - instead of the traditional Velveeta we use vegan cheddar as a substitute.
- Vegan Parmesan Cheese - adds to cheesy flavor and adds a slightly tangy flavor.
- Seasonings - nutritional yeast, smoked paprika, garlic powder, salt and pepper for flavor.
