Notes

  • Calories are approximate, it depends on how much you eat, and it does not include the totopos! I still think this is a great dip if you are cutting on calories!
  • I recommend eating this immediately. You can keep it in the fridge for about a week, but it will turn a bit "gelatinous" so you may need to blend it again, or heat it at low strength in the microwave.
  • This is very light in calories! aubergines give it the perfect texture!
  • If you are looking for a seed based queso, try our recipe with pumpkin seeds.
