Oh yeahhhhh, the thought of these creamy taco fillings all loaded into one dip is making my mouth water all over again. That and the fact that this classic recipe is actually healthy for you really gets my engine going! I prefer to dive in with yellow corn tortilla chips but you could easily keep it nice and light with some bell pepper strips/scoops and cucumber slices. I imagine it would be just as tasty….in fact I wish I had thought of that before I ate all of my latest batch…luckily this is one of those recipes you whip out on any party occasion.
Especially the SUPERBOWL!!! Did you know that Thanksgiving is the only day of the year that beats the amount of food Americans consume on Superbowl Sunday? That means any delicious and healthy option on your side is a touchdown in my book <–yes, that is a cheesy (and pathetic) football pun.
Stay with me.
This dip goes something like this (top to bottom)
1) Sliced black olives
2) Pico de gallo
3) Light or heavy sprinkling of nutritional yeast
4) Chipotle Salsa
5) Ripe, mashed avocado
6) Freshly made Cashew Cream
7) Seasoned protein packed refried beans
You can easily substitute out different topping based on your personal preference but for me, this is perfection. It goes SO well with my Sweet and Spicy Buffalo Cauliflower Wings it is unbelievable. I guess you’ll just have to make those too 😉
