Cuisine: Tex-Mex
Serves: 8 servings
Ingredients
- 1 can refried beans
- 1 cup sour cream
- 1 cup cream cheese
- 1 cup salsa
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 1/2 cup sliced jalapeños
- 1/4 cup chopped green onions
- 1 teaspoon taco seasoning
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) to prepare for baking the dip.
- In a mixing bowl, combine the cream cheese and sour cream. Use a hand mixer or a whisk to blend them together until smooth and creamy.
- Add the refried beans to the mixture and stir until well combined. This will create a rich and creamy base for your dip.
- Incorporate the salsa into the bean and cream mixture. Stir well to evenly distribute the salsa throughout the dip.
- Sprinkle the taco seasoning over the mixture and stir until everything is well combined and the seasoning is evenly distributed.
- Transfer the mixture into a baking dish, spreading it evenly across the bottom.
- Top the mixture with shredded cheddar cheese, ensuring an even layer that covers the entire surface.
- Evenly distribute the sliced jalapeños over the cheese layer. You can adjust the amount based on your spice preference.
- Bake in the preheated oven for about 30 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly, and the edges are slightly golden.
- While the dip is baking, chop the green onions and set them aside for garnish.
- Once the dip is done baking, carefully remove it from the oven and allow it to cool for a few minutes.
- Before serving, sprinkle the chopped green onions on top for added flavor and color.
- Serve the Loaded Texas Trash Dip warm with tortilla chips, pita chips, or fresh vegetables for dipping.
Tips
- For the creamiest texture, ensure your cream cheese is at room temperature before mixing.
- Adjust the jalapeño quantity to control the heat level - remove seeds for less spice or add more for extra kick.
- Use fresh, high-quality salsa for the best flavor profile.
- If you prefer a smoother dip, you can blend all ingredients before baking.
- For extra crunch, consider adding a layer of crushed tortilla chips on top before the final cheese layer.
- Make sure to let the dip rest for 2-3 minutes after baking to set and make dipping easier.
- Leftovers can be stored in the refrigerator and reheated in the oven or microwave for up to 3 days.
