Directions:

To make the queso, place the potato, water and sea salt in a small saucepan and bring to a boil. Cook, uncovered, for 10-15 minutes until the potato is soft. Drain the cooking liquid into a jug and set aside. Place the cooked potato in the jug of a blender and add the soaked cashews, lime juice, garlic powder, onion powder, ground cumin, jalapeño, smoked paprika, tomato paste, and turmeric. Add 2/3 cup of the cooking liquid to the blender and blend the mixture until very smooth. Add a bit more liquid if needed. Taste and adjust seasoning. Set aside.

To make the refried beans, place a medium-sized, non-stick ceramic skillet on medium-high heat and add the onion and garlic. Cook for 3-5 minutes, until the onion is translucent, adding a bit of water if needed to prevent sticking. Remove from heat and add in the beans, cumin, chipotle powder, and water and mash until you get a smooth, even mixture. Alternatively, you can transfer the mixture to a blender and blend until smooth. Set aside.

To make the guacamole, add the pitted and peeled avocados to a medium-sized bowl. Mash using a potato masher or a fork until the guacamole is smooth but still has a few bigger chunks. Add all the remaining ingredients and mix together gently with a spoon. Taste and adjust seasoning. Set aside.

To make the salsa, combine all the ingredients to a medium-sized bowl and mix well. Set aside.

To assemble, layer the refried beans, guacamole, salsa, and queso in a shallow dish. Add the diced red bell peppers, green onions, cilantro, and olives on top. Serve immediately.
