Steps:

• Place cashews in a bowl and cover with 1/2 of the hot water. Soak for 5 minutes. Drain.
• Combine drained cashews, remaining 1 1/4 cup hot water, nutritional yeast, salsa, garlic, ancho chile powder, Dijon mustard, cumin, and salt in a high-powered blender (such as Vitamix®). Start blending at lowest speed and slowly increase the speed. Blend for 2 minutes. Add more hot water if you want the queso to have a pourable consistency.

Steps:

• Place a fine-mesh sieve over a large liquid measuring cup. Pour the tomatoes and green chiles into the sieve and press with a spatula to squeeze out all the liquid (about 1/2 cup). Put the tomatoes and green chiles into a small bowl and set aside.
• Combine the reserved liquid, cashews, cumin, garlic powder, onion powder, chili powder, turmeric, cayenne, 1 teaspoon salt and 3/4 cup water in a 9-inch skillet over high heat. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat to a simmer and let cook, stirring occasionally, until the cashews are tender, about 10 minutes.
• Transfer the mixture to a high-powered blender. Add the nutritional yeast, roasted red peppers, vinegar, hot sauce, 2 tablespoons of the reserved tomatoes and green chiles and 1 cup water. Blend until smooth and creamy, scraping down the sides of the blender as needed.
• Transfer the mixture back to the cast-iron skillet. Heat gently over low heat, stirring occasionally, until thickened and scoopable, about 10 minutes.
• Garnish with the remaining tomatoes and green chiles, the jalapenos and cilantro.
• Serve with tortilla chips.
