Get all of that layered bean dip flavor with much less work in these two-bite snacks. Like miniature bean burritos, these bean dip bites are topped with melty cheese, seasoned guacamole, fresh pico de gallo, and tangy sour cream.
Finger food never tasted so good! These quick and easy Loaded Bean Dip Bites are the perfect snack for after school or while watching the big game.
I’m having a really hard time focusing today for three reasons:
1) The air vent in my office isn’t working and it’s FREEZING in here. My fingers are so cold it’s hard to type!
2) One of the windows in my living room started leaking water after a big storm the other day, and I’m pretty stressed out about it. Homeownership is hard, okay?
3) I may or may not be shopping on Amazon for Christmas Stockings.
Yep. I’m turning into THAT person.
But, hey, at least I can drown my sorrows in a pan of Loaded Bean Dip Bites.
Heck to the yes.
These babies have everything you love about a layered bean dip and are even faster to make!
Each mini soft taco boat is filled with refried beans, cheese, guacamole, pico de gallo, and sour cream. In other words, they are like itty bitty perfect bean burritos.
Here’s the run-down on how easy these are to make:
First, pre-heat your oven and make the guacamole.
Then, arrange a package of Mini Soft Taco Boats in a pan. Open up a can of Traditional Refried Beans and use a spatula to smear each boat with about two tablespoons of beans. Sprinkle with grated cheese, and pop in the oven for a few minutes until the cheese is all melty and the beans are warm.
Top the boats with guacamole, pico de gallo (store bought or make your own!), and sour cream.
If you want to get fancy you can spoon the sour cream into a zipper-close plastic baggy, snip off one of the corners, and pipe the sour cream over the top.
Get creative and add your own favorite toppings!
