Step 1
Place the raw cashews in a bowl and cover them with hot water. Let them soak for at least 30 minutes to soften.

Drain the soaked cashews and add them to a blender along with almond milk, nutritional yeast, garlic powder, onion powder, ground cumin, smoked paprika, turmeric, and salt.

Step 4
Transfer the blended cashew mixture to a medium saucepan. Add in the chopped green chilies and diced tomatoes with green chilies, including the juices.
Step 5
Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly until the mixture begins to thicken and is heated through, about 5-10 minutes.

Remove the saucepan from heat and stir in fresh lime juice.
Step 7
Adjust the seasoning to taste, adding more salt or lime juice as desired.
Step 8
Serve the creamy queso warm with tortilla chips for dipping.
