Adding pre-made salsa to refried beans is an easy way to add multiple ingredients.
A can of plain refried beans, with its top layer of oily, white water, can seem pretty unappetizing when you open it. But, by adding a few key ingredients to the mix, you can make a delicious bean dip that you can eat with chips. To make the recipe even simpler, start with ready-made salsa instead of preparing Mexican seasonings, tomatoes, onions and other ingredients individually.
Instructions
1. Open the can and drain the water on top. Place the refried beans into the oven-safe container.
2. Spoon several spoonfuls of salsa on top of the beans and stir them in.
3. Sprinkle a few dashes of salt on top of the beans and stir in.
4. Sprinkle a layer of shredded cheese on top of the beans until the entire top is covered.
5. Place the container in the oven and bake at 350 degrees for about 10 minutes, or until the cheese on top is bubbly.
6. Remove the container from the oven and allow it to cool for a few minutes. Dip tortilla chips into the hot-bean mixture.
