Snacks are pretty much life, right? Especially with a long weekend coming up?
This refried bean dip stuffed me FULL and was sooo good! I’m fairness, I did eat a meal-sized portion, but it was that good!
Layer in a glass dish:
🥄 1 c refried beans, gently warmed
🥄 1 c extra lean ground beef, cooked with taco seasoning
🥄 1/2 c plain Greek yogourt
🥄 1/4 c salsa
🥄 1-2 diced green onions
🥄 1-2 tbsp pickled jalapeño peppers, chopped
🥄 1/2 ripe avocado, chopped
🥄 1/4 c shredded cheddar cheese
Serve with cut up mini bell peppers – these make perfect scoopers! They are not as thick as standard bell peppers which means you get a nice ratio of dip to scooping vessel! As a bonus, they are sturdier than tortilla chips. This means you won’t end up breaking your dipping scoop while going in for the goodness! 😉
Healthy swaps that I worked into this dish
✅ extra lean ground beef instead of medium
✅ Greek yogourt instead of sour cream
✅ a purposeful amount of shredded cheese
✅ bell peppers instead of tortilla chips
All these swaps help to reduce fat, up protein and make sure carbs are kept in check without sacrificing taste! 😋
