Making your own tortilla chips helps manage fat levels. Organic refried beans may have at least half the sodium of conventional ones and can have a drier texture. We add a little lime juice to smooth out the beans and enhance the flavor. Using organic salsa also helps keep sodium in check. This dip comes together quickly for parties or as an appetizer course.
This is a scrumptious taco dip. When I use all low-fat ingredients, such as low-fat sour cream and low-fat Cheddar, it still comes out so delicious! Serve with baked tortilla chips for dipping.
Pepperidge Farm(R) Mini Puff Pastry Shells are filled with an enticing combination of Cheddar cheese, bacon and green onion to be baked until the cheese melts and the filling is hot.
Spoon this dip into a baking dish up to a day ahead, but top with panko and chives just before baking. If it's chilled, leave the dish out at room temperature while the oven preheats. Scoop into multiple bowls that you can set at different grazing stations.
You can make these ahead several days and store in the fridge. If baking cold, let stand 30 minutes first. Originally submitted to ThanksgivingRecipe.com.
