This is a recipe that most of you have made at one time, seen on Pinterest or been to a party where it was served. Well, I made it last week as a special favor to some folks who were visiting from out of town.
Note, that I said – special request. I rarely, if ever make this crazy, good dip. Honestly, I have a love/hate relationship with it. Yes, I do LOVE it and could grab a bag of chips and just go to town! Instead, I don’t keep the ingredients in my house because I don’t need the calories and would not be able to help myself if I had easy access to everything. Dang y’all, I’m trying to be strong here.
Then again, when push comes to shove, I try to freshen it up a little by topping it off with homemade Pico de Gallo. I feel like the ripe, juicy tomatoes, crunchy onions, and herbs lighten up the layers of the beans and sour cream. Of course, this just might be my twisted way of convincing myself that I’m eating something healthy!
