Spicy Mexican Fiesta Dip

This easy Mexican fiesta dip recipe doubles as a condiment or even a side salad. Use it atop tacos instead of cheese for a delicious dairy-free punch or over brown rice and your favorite protein (fish, chicken or tofu would be great) for a quick and easy “rice bowl” lunch.

This Mexican fiesta dip recipe and accompanying photo were shared with us by Cans Get You Cooking, a website that offers recipe ideas for cooking with canned food (note that not all of their recipes are dairy-free).

Since it is summertime, you can certainly prepare this perfectly spicy Mexican fiesta dip with fresh vegetables, but the canned option makes it a year-round dish and an easy recipe to make with kids. Feel free to adjust the Tabasco up or down to your family’s favorite heat, or if your like me, skip the Tabasco but serve with your favorite hot sauce (we love Chalula in our house!).
