Easy Refried Bean Dip

Image
This easy refried bean dip is made with creamy refried beans, warm spices, and a fresh salsa topping: it’s an easy party appetizer made in minutes! My friends love bringing over this legendary refried bean and queso dip from a local Mexican restaurant. It’s so, so good: but they asked us: could you make it without the cheese as a healthy spin? Enter this refried bean dip. It’s seriously delicious but has no cheese. (How?!) It’s just as satisfying as a cheesy Mexican dip , without the extra calories. You can make either Instant Pot refried beans or easy stovetop refried beans , or start with canned refried beans as well. It’s a healthy appetizer I can’t get enough of! 5 Star Reader Review “Made this on the fly with Siete refried beans – so tasty – and added my homemade salsa fresca for a side for enchiladas verdes! Omg! Love the warmed beans with your spice and herb combo!” -Nicholas Ingredients You...

This blueberry sorbet recipe needs just 3 ingredients and a food processor: no ice cream maker required! It’s delicious, naturally sweetened, and ready in 10 minutes.
