  6. In a blender, add the boiled nuts, potato and carrot pieces, nutritional yeast and the rest of the spice mix. Blend on high adding small amounts of the reserved water until a smooth thick consistency is obtained. Transfer the “cheese” to a large bowl.
  7. Add the sautéed jackfruit mixture, diced peppers and tomato. Stir to combine.
  8. Garnish with some of jackfruit mixture and diced peppers if desired.
  9. Serve immediately with lots of tortilla chips. Enjoy!
