Watching the NFL playoffs this weekend? You'll need appetizers and snacks! We love our queso dip, but sometimes you want a little bean action. This easy warm refried bean dip recipe is cheesy, creamy and packed with Mexican flavors.
The easy low-sugar, high-protein and high-fiber Mexican bean dip is made with cream cheese, refried beans, salsa, taco seasoning and pepper jack cheese. You can use canned refried beans or homemade refried beans. Same with the taco seasoning. A packet of premade taco seasoning works, but if you want to make homemade taco seasoning, go for it. Pepper-jack cheese adds even more flavor, but cheddar, colby-jack, Monterey Jack or a Mexican cheese works well, too. (Check out the health benefits of protein and the health benefits of fiber.)
Serve the creamy bean dip with corn chips, tortilla chips or even raw vegetables. If you're serving it during the football games, transfer it to a slow cooker so it stays warm. You could fancy it up with some chopped cilantro or pico de gallo. This dip will go fast, so consider doubling the recipe for your get-together.
