This bean dip is loaded with flavor, so simple, yet it’s loaded with protein from the beans and cottage cheese! Use bell peppers for the “chips” and you have a well balanced snack!
The Deets:
This bean dip is so simple to make- you just layer the ingredients one by one!
- heaping 1/4 cup of refried beans (try to do vegetarian)
- 1-2 tbsp of salsa
- 1/2 of a smashed avocado
- Lime juice + salt
- Heaping 1/4 cup of low fat cottage cheese
- 1/2 tsp taco seasoning @sietefoods is my fave!
- Pico de gallo or your favorite chunky salsa
- Bell peppers
Important Steps:
- you will want to mix the beans with a little bit of your favortie salsa. This makes the beans a little creamier and not as thick, plus, it adds more flavor to this!
- layering the avocado after the beans is super important, this helps the avocado from turning brown.
- you will also want to make sure you mix the taco seasoning with the cottage cheese to give it some flavor.
I love using these little glass cups for these snacks- the are the perfect size, but also so functional because they can also go in the oven! I’ve linked them below!
