Cheese Sauce
  1. In a small saucepan on medium-low heat, add cheese, non-dairy milk, and Slap Ya Mama.

  3. Once cheese sauce is done, you can begin to assemble your loaded nacho veggies dogs!
  4. Stuff your toasted hot dog bun with a Lightlife Smart Dog and top with 2-3 tablespoons cheese sauce, 2 tablespoons mashed avocado, fakin' bits, tomatoes, jalapenos, green onion, and cilantro.
