Ingredients

  • 1 package 8 ounces cream cheese
  • 1 cup sour cream
  • 2 cans 16 ounces each refried beans
  • 1 can 4.5 ounces chopped green chiles, drained
  • 1 package 1.25 ounces McCormick® Taco Seasoning Mix
  • 4 cups shredded Mexican blend cheese divided

Instructions
 

Preheat the Oven:

  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Prepare a 13x9-inch baking dish by spraying it with non-stick cooking spray. Set aside.

Prepare the Cream Cheese Mixture:

  1. In a large microwave-safe bowl, combine the cream cheese and sour cream. Microwave on HIGH for 1 minute, or until the cream cheese is softened. Remove from the microwave and whisk until smooth and well blended.

Combine the Ingredients:

  1. Add the refried beans, chopped green chiles, taco seasoning mix, and 2 cups of the shredded Mexican blend cheese to the cream cheese mixture. Stir thoroughly until all ingredients are evenly incorporated.

Assemble the Dip:

  1. Transfer the bean mixture into the prepared baking dish, spreading it evenly. Sprinkle the remaining 2 cups of shredded Mexican blend cheese over the top of the mixture.

Bake the Dip:

  1. Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for 25 minutes, or until the cheese has melted completely and the dip is heated through.

Serve:

  1. Remove from the oven and allow to cool slightly before serving. Serve warm with tortilla chips for dipping.

Notes

To adapt this recipe for a gluten-free diet, ensure that the refried beans and taco seasoning mix are certified gluten-free. Many store-bought taco seasoning packets contain gluten, so opt for a gluten-free brand or make your own seasoning blend at home. Also, confirm that the tortilla chips used for serving are labeled gluten-free, as cross-contamination can occur during processing.
