Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375°F.
- In a large bowl, mix together the refried beans, 1 cup of the shredded cheese, salsa, sour cream, chili powder, cumin, garlic powder, onion powder, and until fully combined.
- Spread the mixture evenly in an 8x8 or 2-quart baking dish. Top with the remaining 1 cup of shredded cheese.
- Bake for 15 minutes, until the shredded cheese has melted and the dip begins to bubble on the edges.
- Garnish with diced avocado, diced tomatoes, cilantro, and jalapeño, and serve warm with tortilla chips.
Notes
- Make this extra satisfying by stirring in some cooked Mexican chorizo or crumbled bacon.
- Beans: You can use canned refried beans or homemade using my refried beans recipe. If using homemade, you'll need about 1.5 cups of refried beans.
- Cheese: I recommend using thick-cut shredded cheese or shredding cheese yourself from a block (Chihuahua, Monterey Jack, or Colby Jack are great). This type of cheese melts much better and has a better consistency than finely shredded cheese. I recommend eating this dip warm.
- For a smoother dip, blend the ingredients in a food processor until you reach your desired consistency.
- Make this extra satisfying by stirring in some cooked Mexican chorizo or crumbled bacon.
- Salsa: You can use store bought or make some roasted tomato salsa at home.
- To make it extra creamy, mix in 4 ounces of softened cream cheese.
- Adjust the spices and seasonings to taste. Give everything a taste before baking. For an extra kick, add jalapeños or hot sauce.
