Cheesy Fiesta Bean Dip Recipe

I was recently asked by Van’s Foods to create some unique ways to use a new product. I wanted to share with you what I came up with because it is really SO easy to make and it tastes amazing too!

While I was in Target the other day, I saw that they carry several of these Van’s Simply Delicious® Gluten Free Whole Grain Cracker products and knew right away that I wanted to give them a try.

I had a tough time choosing just one of the varieties, so I grabbed two different ones, finished my shopping and headed for the register. I was already thinking up a recipe to make when I got home to go along with the crackers while I was standing in line.

I knew I had all the fixings for a pretty awesome taco inspired dip and was pretty excited to give it a try.

Saving Dollars and Sense Tip: There is a Cartwheel offer for 30% off Van’s Simply Delicious® Crackers right now that you can use to save on some for yourself.

When I got home I decided to immediately open the Van’s Simply Delicious® Gluten Free, Whole Grain Crackers Say Cheese! Cracker variety and will admit that I was SO surprised by the flavor. They were so tasty that I had to refrain from eating them all so that I would still have some left for the dip I wanted to make.

This Cheesy Fiesta Bean Dip turned out really great! I can see making this a few times before the end of the summer season. It is so easy and full of flavor too!

I also bought the Lots of Everything variety that is baked with oats, brown rice, millet, quinoa and amaranth.

Since I had purchased two different flavors, I decided to mix them together in a bowl.

Both of the flavors worked really well together and with this dip. In fact I will admit that I ate a lot more of it than I probably should have, so I decided to just call it dinner 😉
