This Layered Mexican Dip is the ultimate party dish.
Wondering what appetizer or dish to take along to any upcoming parties? Then this Layered Mexican Dip is just the dish to take. It is so addictive that once you dip in, you really won't be able to stop. But the good news is, it's pretty low in syns, so you don't have to feel guilty eating this one.
A layer of refried beans, salsa, soured cream, cheddar and spring onion, make this delicious dip.
I like to serve this Layered Mexican Dip with some crispy oven baked sweet potato slices or Oven Baked Tostones, but it is great with veggie crudites, syn free chips, or if you are willing to use some additional syns, you could serve with some low syn crackers, toasted pitta breads etc.
Don't have a party to make this for? I still recommend giving it a go, it is amazing served alongside these main dishes:
- Pasta Chicken Enchiladas
- Mexican Pasta Bake
- Spicy Mexican Lasagne
- Chilli Corn Carne
- Turkey Chilli
- Fajita Chicken Pasta
That's a whole load of delicious main courses to serve this Layered Mexican Dip with. Oh my!!
