TexMex Dip Recipe
This delicious, clean eating TexMex dip is perfect for your next get-together!
Maybe I’ve got spring fever, or maybe I just love Mexican food. Or maybe it’s a combination of both. But I started thinking about having barbecues this summer and thinking about what types of things I could serve as appetizers for entertaining friends.
Mini Chef is already begging for barbecues and trips to the beach and pool, and I can’t blame him. He’s been in the house much of the winter due to one cold/flu or another. (They seem to bring home a new illness every week when they start school). So I guess you could say that both of us have a serious case of spring fever.
I’m actually looking forward to summer for the first time in my entire life this year (that California heat is starting to win me over) and I want to enjoy some delicious foods in the process.
So I thought a dip would be a yummy way to start things off. The serving size is small on this because it’s meant to be more of a party dip. And I don’t know about you, but ¼ cup of dip at a party seems about right to me unless you’re totally pigging out. But double to a ½ cup if you like. Just remember to double the nutrition data as well!
