Equipment

  • Heavy Bottom Pot

Ingredients

  • 1 Tbsp Oil I use Avocado Oil
  • 1/2 tsp Cumin Seeds
  • 1/2 Cup finely diced Onions
  • 2 Tbsp Minced Garlic
  • 1 Tbsp Diced Jalapeños
  • 1/2 Cup Diced Green Bell Pepper
  • 1/2 Cup Diced Red Bell Pepper
  • 1 Tsp Salt
  • 1 Tsp Kashmiri Red Chili Powder
  • 1 Tsp Dhanajeeru
  • 1 Tsp Taco Seasoning I use Trader Joe's Taco Seasoning
  • 2 Cans Refried Pinto Beans I use Rosaritas Vegetarian Refried Beans 16oz Cans
  • 2 Tbsp Whipped Cream Cheese I use Philadelphia Original Whipped Cream Cheese
  • 2 Tbsp Your Favorite Salsa I use Casa Sanchez Medium Salsa Roja
  • 1/2 Cup Mixed Mexican Cheese

Instructions

  • Place heavy bottom pot on the stove on medium high flame.
  • Once the pot is hot, add oil and cumin seeds. Let them splutter.
  • Now add the diced onions, minced garlic and diced jalapeños. Sauté them until onion becomes transparent. Deglaze the pan with splashes of water if needed.
  • Next add in the bell peppers. Add salt, red chili powder, dhanajeeru and taco seasoning. Mix everything well.
  • Once the oil starts to separate, add in your refried beans.
  • Mix them well.
  • Now add cream cheese, salsa and mexican cheese. give everything a good mix. Turn off the stove once the cheese melts.

Notes

  • If you are planning to have this as a dip, top it with some diced red onions. diced tomatoes and jalapeños. Top it with some cojita cheese (totally optional) but tastes bomb. Serve hot. 
  • If you are planning to use this as a filling, take the refried beans in a bowl. Let them cool. They will thicken up. And they will be perfect to be used for filling
  • If you want to substitute the whipped cream cheese, use sour cream, greek yogurt or mayonnaise. If you are using sour cream or greek yogurt then add only 1 tbsp salsa, as the tartness from both can be overwhelming sometimes.
