Low Calorie Bean Dip

This Low Calorie Bean Dip is so yummy, and depending on the flavor you are looking for, you can use salsa or hot sauce to flavor it.

Del Taco Inspired: Use green salsa/hot sauce.

Taco Bell Inspired: Use blended red salsa or ideally hot sauce.

Special Tip: If you prefer black beans, you can absolutely use refried black beans.
