- 1 can refried beans
- about 1 cup Medium or Hot salsa
- shredded co-jack cheese (optional)
- 1 bag corn chips
Empty can of beans into microwave safe dish, pour salsa on top.
Cover. Cook in microwave 2 mins, stir.
Continue cooking until heated through in 30 second intervals, stirring between.
When this is hot, sprinkle cheese on top and melt in microwave (about 30 seconds).
Serve immediately w/corn chips, or keep warm in the (regular) oven @ 200 until your guests arrive.
Underground tip: Seriously, do not even consider using mild salsa. The beans really take the edge off the spices in the salsa. Whenever I've used mild salsa, the dip winds up tasting bland. The above recipe, made with Medium salsa, does not seem spicy at all (so don't worry if you don't like spicy food), but instead it tastes flavorful and delicious!

This is great for parties, because it's fast, easy, and there's a lot to go around. But--this travels well for road trips (no cooler needed), and after say, a 7:30 to 10pm rehearsal, it's a substantial snack/mini-meal that you can make, which many of my friends have enjoyed sharing with me!
Bon Appetit!
