This easy refried bean dip is made with creamy refried beans, warm spices, and a fresh salsa topping: it’s an easy party appetizer made in minutes! My friends love bringing over this legendary refried bean and queso dip from a local Mexican restaurant. It’s so, so good: but they asked us: could you make it without the cheese as a healthy spin? Enter this refried bean dip. It’s seriously delicious but has no cheese. (How?!) It’s just as satisfying as a cheesy Mexican dip , without the extra calories.
