This recipe is great!! Usually when I want a snack, I want it fast - this is perfect for fast! I actually used a can of low-fat refried black beans and skipped the mashing step!
Oh, I make this all the time! I didn't know it was a recipe on here. I also recommend mashing up an avocado into the dip too. Also good with some NY mixed in. I used to make this in college when I didn't have enough time to make anything else.
this was yum-my! so simple, but wouldn't have thought of it myself. i hate making lots of dishes and hauling the food processor out if i'm just making a lazy snack for myself, so this was perfect.
So simple. And so good. A great way to get some protein in with your veggies. I also make my own chips and they are baked and could always use an extra punch. This definantly provides it.
At my last book club some one brought a Salsa Chicken Paté, she said it was just pureéd chicken with salsa and the key ingredient was taco seasoning. I didn't eat any of course, but I was trying to figure out how to make a similar dip, only vegan. This recipe pretty much solves that recipe dilemma for me, I'll just use my homemade taco seasoning for the seasoning part in the recipe. Thanks Buffaloveggie!
