Refried Bean Dip Recipe

Did you know that Tex-Mex and Mexican food (Sonoran-style) are TOTALLY different?? I’ve learned that being in Houston the past year and whenever I ask someone for a great Mexican restaurant they always suggest a Tex-Mex place. These places are usually good but are tons different from the typical Mexican places I’m used to visiting in Arizona. We still enjoy Tex-Mex, but because we have yet to find a Sonoran Mexican food chain we enjoy here, I’ve had to learn how to make some of the recipes we enjoy back home in AZ, like today’s Cream Cheese Bean Dip.

It’s sad that it took moving away to actually learn how to make most of these recipes, but I’m glad I have because we enjoy a Mexican meal at least once a week. I have finally mastered Rice, Tacos, Enchiladas (Chicken and Cheese), and a few others. I’ve also learned how to make Salsa (Red and Green) and have even tried a few Queso-type dips, all of which have been super tasty. But I’ve been on the hunt for a good Bean Dip recipe (one similar to that of Gecko Grill in Arizona) and recently found one that may taste even better! Let me tell you right now, it is the perfect marriage of refried beans, cream cheese, and cheese.

How to Make Cream Cheese Taco Dip:

I knew cream cheese had to be in the recipe and was so excited to experiment and find a recipe for Cream Cheese Bean Dip that the whole family enjoyed. I finally figured out the perfect combination of ingredients and it turns out it only took these 5 ingredients!

• sour cream
• refried beans
• cream cheese
• taco seasoning
• Mexican cheese

We also like to add a little bit of our favorite salsa to the dip for a little kick.

Overall, this recipe only takes minutes to put together. All you have to do is mix the beans, cream cheese, and sour cream until well combined. Add in the taco seasoning and salsa. Once everything is mixed, pour into an 8×8 pan and top with the shredded cheese. Bake for 25 minutes at 350°, and serve warm with your choice of chips, tacos, or nachos!

The hubby couldn’t stop eating this recipe – he loved it! I may have had my fair share of chips and dip too! 😉 I seriously cannot wait to make this again! It’s a great recipe to make for parties when serving tortilla chips (or our FAVORITE Loaded Nachos), or would even be great served with some warm tortillas.
