Recipe Tips
Beans: I like to use refried pinto beans for this dip, but you can also use refried black beans to change it up.
Salsa: We like chunky-style salsa, but any salsa you like will work. For a twist, try using salsa verde.
Hot Sauce: Our favorite hot sauce is Tapatio, but feel free to use your favorite. You can also adjust the heat level by adding more or less.
Optional Garnishes: If you want to dress it up for serving, try adding freshly ground black pepper, shredded cheddar cheese, sliced green onions, chopped tomatoes, or sliced black olives for garnish. A sprinkle of chopped fresh cilantro is excellent, too.
Dippers: We love tortilla chips, but you can serve spicy bean dip with carrots, celery, and other chips that you like.
Leftovers: Any leftovers will keep well in an airtight container in the refrigerator for a few days.
