Elevate your gathering with this incredibly simple yet flavorful bean dip, where the surprising addition of baked beans transforms a classic appetizer into an unforgettable party favorite. Watch it disappear in minutes!
In a large saucepan, heat the olive oil over medium heat. (2 minutes)
Add the diced green chilies and finely diced onion to the saucepan. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the onion is softened and translucent. (5-7 minutes)
Pour in the vegetarian baked beans. Cook, stirring frequently to prevent sticking, until the beans begin to break down and form a smoother, slightly mashed consistency. (About 10 minutes)
Stir in the taco seasoning mix and salsa until well combined. Transfer the mixture to a serving bowl.
Generously top with shredded Cheddar cheese.
For a warm, cheesy dip, microwave on high for 1 to 2 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly. Alternatively, you can broil it in the oven for a few minutes, watching carefully to prevent burning. Serve immediately with your favorite tortilla chips.
