In honor of Cinco De Mayo I wanted to find a Mexican themed dish that would be easy to assemble in a college dorm. Chips and dip are hard to pass up in any situation, especially on a day we should celebrate by eating Mexican food. This Mexican Dip (recipe from The Healthy College Cookbook) will be perfect for a mid day snack, or just to accompany a Mexican themed dinner.
All you need is:
– 1 can (16 ounce) refried brans
– 1 cup low fat-free sour cream
– 1 tablespoon taco seasoning
– 1 cup salsa (I recommend using chunky salsa, watery salsa will make the dip soggy)
– 1 cup shredded low-fat cheddar cheese
– 1 tomato diced
– ¼ cup cilantro, optional
1. Spread beans evenly in a small casserole dish.
2. Mix together the sour cream and taco seasoning
3. Spread evenly over beans. Top with salsa.
4. Spread cheese, tomato, and cilantro. Serve at room temperature
Enjoy!
