CREAM CHEESE BEAN DIP

Did you know that Tex-Mex and Mexican food (Sonoran-style) are TOTALLY different?? I’ve learned that being in Houston the past year and whenever I ask someone for a great Mexican restaurant they always suggest a Tex-Mex place. These places are usually good but are tons different from the typical Mexican places I’m used to visiting in Arizona. We still enjoy Tex-Mex, but because we have yet to find a Sonoran Mexican food chain we enjoy here, I’ve had to learn how to make some of the recipes we enjoy back home in AZ, like today’s Cream Cheese Bean Dip.

It’s sad that it took moving away to actually learn how to make most of these recipes, but I’m glad I have because we enjoy a Mexican meal at least once a week. I have finally mastered Rice, Tacos, Enchiladas (Chicken and Cheese), and a few others. I’ve also learned how to make Salsa (Red and Green) and have even tried a few Queso-type dips, all of which have been super tasty. But I’ve been on the hunt for a good Bean Dip recipe (one similar to that of Gecko Grill in Arizona) and recently found one that may taste even better! Let me tell you right now, it is the perfect marriage of refried beans, cream cheese, and cheese.

INGREDIENTS
