How to Prepare Green Chili Mac and Cheese [Vegan]

Preheat oven to 375°F. Grease a 9x12-inch pan lightly with oil. Set aside.
Add cashews, water, nutritional yeast, apple cider vinegar, cornstarch, salt, onion granules, and garlic granules to a blender. Blend until smooth.
Add mixture from the blender into a medium sized saucepan over medium-high heat. Whisk sauce continuously until it becomes thick. This normally takes 5-7 minutes.
Once sauce is thickened stir in the green chili sauce and diced chilis.
Stir the thickened sauce with pasta until combined. Pour mixture into the greased pan.
Top with crushed tortilla chips. Lightly spray with canola oil.
Place uncovered pan in the preheated oven. Bake for 25 minutes. Serve warm.
