Cheesy Bean Dip
This dip is super creamy, cheesy, and seasoned with cumin and chili powder. I love making this recipe when I have people over because it is always a hit. It is perfect for keeping your guests at bay until dinner or just to have a nice snack when you need a bite to eat. You can make it as it is or turn up the heat by using mild or hot salsa.
Key Ingredients You’ll Need
- Refried Beans: You will need traditional canned beans of any kind.
- Salsa: You can use regular, mild, or hot depending on what you like.
- Sour cream: This will make the consistency super creamy as well as add flavor.
- Seasonings: I like to use cumin and chili powder for extra flavor and use salt to bring them out.
- Cheese: I like to use Colby jack or Cheddar cheese.
- Tortilla Chips: I prefer serving this recipe with tortilla chips and some chopped cilantro and jalapenos on top.
