Course Appetizer, Side Dish
Chipotle Sour Cream (optional)
- 1/3 cup vegan sour cream homemade or store-bought
- ¼ cup of the adobo sauce from a can of chipotles in adobo
- 1 chipotle in adobo sauce finely minced
- Kosher salt to taste
- Fresh cracked black pepper to taste
Ingredients:
- 2 teaspoons avocado oil
- 1 pound vegan ground ‘beef’
- 2 tablespoons vegan-friendly taco seasoning homemade or store-bought
- 16 ounces vegan-friendly refried beans homemade or store-bought
- 1 cup vegan cheese shreds
- 2 cups shredded lettuce
- Chipotle sour cream recipe above
- ½ cup Pickled jalapeños
- ¾ cup pico de gallo or salsa
- Tortilla chips for serving
- Hot sauce for serving, optional
Heat the oil in a large non-stick sauté pan over medium heat. Once the oil is hot, add the vegan ground and cook until heated through. Season the ground with the taco seasoning and pour in ¾ cup of water (this is optional, but as I used the packet, I prepared it according to the packet directions). Continue to cook for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally. Remove from the heat and set aside.
To prepare the dip, spread the beans even into a 9x10” pie dish. Top the beans with the prepared taco ‘meat’, cheese shreds, lettuce, chipotle sour cream (if using), pickled jalapeños, and pico de gallo.
Serve with extra thick and crunchy tortilla chips, your favorite hot sauce, and enjoy!
