Equipment

  • Colander
  • Large mixing bowl
  • Potato masher
  • 8-inch baking dish

Ingredients
  

  • 30 ounce pinto beans two 15 oz. cans
  • 4 ounces cream cheese ½ block, softened
  • 2/3 cup sour cream
  • 1 packet taco seasoning
  • 1/4 cup salsa your favorite kind
  • 1 cup cheddar or Mexican blend cheese freshly shredded, divided

Instructions
 

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
  • Pour pinto beans into a colander or strainer and allow to sit for a few minutes. DON'T RINSE them--our goal is to remove some of the liquid but not all of it.
  • Transfer beans to a large mixing bowl. Use a potato masher or some forks to mash the mixture until relatively smooth, with some chunks.
  • Add the cream cheese and mash some more, until combined.
  • Stir in the sour cream, taco seasoning, salsa, and ¼ cup shredded cheese.
  • Pour mixture into an 8 inch or similar size baking dish and sprinkle the remaining shredded cheese evenly on top.
  • Bake in preheated oven for 25 minutes or until cheese is melted and bubbly.
  • Serve as a dip with tortilla chips, inside tacos, or as a Mexican side dish.
