Healthy Enchilada Dip Ingredients
Ground chicken: we recommend ground chicken, but any kind of ground meat will work. Use what you have on hand. Garlic and onion: amp up the flavor of your ground meat with garlic and onion. Beans: you need 2 cans of beans. We’re using black beans and pinto beans, but honestly any variety of canned bean will do the trick. The beans + ground chicken are your protein powerhouses in this recipe (a whopping 33g per serving!). Corn: corn out of the can is perfect for this recipe, but if you have it fresh off the cob…even better! Green chilis: we’re using canned green chilis in this dip, but if you’re looking to amp up the heat, feel free to substitute for jalapeños. 🤩 Enchilada sauce: use your favorite store-bought or make your own. Shredded cheese: top your enchilada dip generously with shredded cheese, and broil it to cheesy perfection.
How to Make This Healthy Enchilada Dip
As you know, this recipe only requires one pan and one pan only! That means the Instructions are rather simple: Homemade Enchilada Sauce It’s as easy as 1, 2, 3! And, clean-up is a breeze because you only dirtied one pan.
Storage Directions
Fridge: Let your enchilada dip cool completely. Then, transfer into a glass container. Will last in the fridge for up to 3-5 days.
Freeze for Later
This is a great recipe to freeze for later! Hold off on adding the cheese and then let the dip cool completely. Transfer into a freezer-safe, gallon-size bag and then remove as much air as possible. Seal and freeze for up to 3 months. Pour into an oven-safe dish once thawed, and sprinkle with cheese. Broil as directed, and enjoy.
