Quezo Dip (Non Dairy Queso Dip)

A community must have three types of business establishments in order to qualify as a town.  There must be a Walmart, a Chinese buffet restaurant, and a sit-down Mexican Restaurant.  It is amazing to me that all Mexican Restaurants have almost exactly the same menu.  One of the appetizers is queso dip.

With this recipe, you can enjoy the great flavors at home.  Best of all, this is a dairy-free recipe.
