Ingredients

The following ingredients have 4 Servings
  • 3/4 cup tomatillo salsa verde
  • 15 oz vegetarian refried black beans ((1 can))
  • 8 oz cream cheese
  • 1/4 tsp cayenne pepper
  • 1/8 tsp salt
  • 8 oz pepper jack cheese, freshly grated ( plus a few extra ounces for topping)
  • 1 oz grated mozzarella (for topping)
  • 1/4 tsp red pepper flakes for topping [deliciously spicy + optional!]
  • 1/4 tsp dried parsley for topping
  • tortilla chips and veggies for dipping

Instruction

  • Pre-heat oven to 350 degrees F.
  • Take out pepper jack cheese and cream cheese ahead of time and allow to soften.
  • Next combine your beans and green salsa in a well-seasoned cast iron skillet and bring to medium heat on your stove top, stirring frequently.
  • Add softened cream cheese, salt, and cayenne pepper, and mix thoroughly.
  • Once the beans are hot and the cream cheese has fully melted, slowly add freshly grated pepper jack cheese, stirring constantly to incorporate.
  • Top with extra pepper jack, grated mozzarella cheese, parsley and red pepper flakes, and bake at 350 degrees F for 10-15 minutes or until hot and bubbly!
  • To make the cheese bubbly and golden, switch your oven to broil on high for just a minute or so [keep an eye on it to prevent burning]
  • Dig in right away and store leftovers for up to 4 days in a covered bowl. May be reheated in the oven or microwave. Enjoy!
