Ingredients
- 1 can (16 oz) refried beans
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese (or Mexican blend)
- 1/2 cup salsa
- 1/4 cup sour cream
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1/2 teaspoon chili powder
- 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
- Optional toppings: chopped green onions, sliced black olives, jalapeños
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).
- In a mixing bowl, combine refried beans, salsa, sour cream, cumin, chili powder, and garlic powder. Stir well until smooth.
- Spread the bean mixture evenly in a baking dish (8×8 inch works well).
- Sprinkle shredded cheese evenly on top.
- Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
- Remove from oven and garnish with optional toppings like green onions, olives, or jalapeños.
- Serve warm with tortilla chips.
Notes
- For extra heat, add diced jalapeños into the bean mixture before baking.
- Use low-fat sour cream and reduced-fat cheese for a lighter version.
- You can also prepare this dip in the microwave for 3-4 minutes, stirring halfway through, instead of baking.
- Leftovers can be refrigerated for up to 3 days and reheated before serving.
