The recipe is actually very basic, but the idea of it is fun for my kid and his friends. Ingredients:
1 (15 ounce) can refried beans |
1 tablespoon milk |
1/2 cup shredded cheese, preferably a jack & cheddar mixture |
2 teaspoons salt |
1 teaspoon black pepper |
1 garlic clove, minced |
1/4 cup sour cream |
2 green bell peppers, cut in half with seeds removed |
24 carrot sticks |
6 (6 inch) corn tortillas |
nonstick cooking spray |
Directions:
1. Cut Corn Tortillas into quarters. Place on a baking sheet. Spray with non-stick cooking spray and season with a little salt and pepper. Bake in a 375 degree oven for about 8 minutes, or until crisp.
2. In a sauce pan, bring beans, garlic, milk, sour cream, salt and pepper up to a simmer on medium heat. Add 1/4 cup cheese. Stir and continue to heat until cheese is melted and ingredients are blended.
3. Scoop mixture into the Bell Pepper Bowls. Top with the remaining 1/4 cup cheese. Place in 375 degree oven for just 3-5 minutes, until cheese melts.
4. Serve with carrot sticks, tortilla chips, and any other dippers that your kids like. Mine sometimes uses pretzels, Red Bell Pepper slices, or even french fries.
