This scrumptious smoky chipotle white bean dip recipe represents my love for Mexican food and beans. I’m always on the hunt for good Mexican food to eat but recently more delicious recipes I can make at home. I love beans I just don’t have the time to cook them from scratch sometimes. In particular, canned beans are a staple in my pantry because you can easily whip up a Mexican dish in a moment’s notice. Nonetheless this smoky chipotle white bean dip only takes minutes to prepare, therefore you are ready in no time for that impromptu fiesta.
This Bean Dip Is Accidentally Vegan
Did I happen to mention that this party dip is accidentally vegan? Therefore this will give your party guests a another great option since vegan menu options are often overlooked at parties. For this reason as long as you have the right textures and flavors in a recipe, there is no need for animal products in them. Generally speaking good food is simply…good food.

- Not just for serving cold, pour this dip into a casserole dish and heat at 350 degrees for about 30 minutes uncovered with or without cheese or vegan cheese for a more satisfying appetizer on those cold days
