Ok here’s something else you should know, well, about me. I LOVE to use my cast iron cookware, especially my cast iron skillet! I remember when I first bought my first piece being hesitant at first because I wasn’t sure if I really would like it or how NON STICK it really would be. I had heard the rave about how great they were but I just wasn’t sold completely yet. Now? Now I feel like a “cast iron cookware advocate!”
I use my cast iron skillet for eggs, stir fries, fry chicken and of course my Mexican dips.
I do all my Mexican dips in this thing! Take a look at my mexican chorizo queso fundido dip….doesn’t it look so appetizing in my skillet? So inviting? I want to dig a tortilla chip in there immediately! And isn’t that the whole point anyways? Aren’t we suppose to eat with our eyes first? That’s part of the enjoyment about eating! The seduction!
Anyways let’s get to talking a little about this Delicioso Mexican Bean Dip.
It has no meat of any kind…just really simple ingredients that surely you either have in your refrigerator or in your pantry. Ok well maybe not the “salsa verde” but you can check out my homemade salsa verde. Which is really, really simple to make or you can buy some store bought already made salsa verde in your local supermarket. Usually you will find it in the international aisle, Mexican section. Other than the green sauce, all the other ingredients you probably already have.
