Dairy Free Enchilada Dip

Heading to a New Years Eve soirée?

Already planning your Oscar party menu?

Looking for unique recipes for game day?

Enjoying a staycation for the rest of the year and want some serious comfort food - a seriously satisfying snack that is also protein and fiber rich and low fat?

This enchilada dip is totally that. All of those things.

Another brilliant aspect of this recipe? It is super quick and easy to make. Like, we are talking last minute stuff here.

 

 

We had some left over from a party recently (meaning, I reserved some for us in a small container and took the rest to the party...), and the next morning? We had Breakfast Tacos with Scramble and Enchilada Beans. So good.

This works as is for a meal, too. The first time I thought of enchilada dip as a thing, I made it for our dinner, as a test. We had this protein and fiber rich dip, some veggies and chips, and a salad. Super quick and easy dinner.

At that dinner, this dip was deemed party worthy.

It was also deemed that grated cheese is a terrific topping for this dip...

Red enchilada sauce was one of my first recipes on this blog. Unfortunately, it was lost in the big blog transfer of 2010, and isn't even found in the wayback machine. Bummer.

After sharing my easy bean and cauliflower rice enchiladas, I have had several requests for my red sauce recipe - look for that soon.

I make my easy green enchilada sauce more often than the red, and I will be trying a verde version of this dip recipe soon too.

We have only shared this at one party so far, and it was well liked! Enchilada Dip is on our New Years Eve menu - since our NYE tradition is tamales, it fits the theme.
