Healthy Taco Dip without any cheese!?

The recipe combines my love for two things: One-pot Chili and Vegan Cheese Dip.

Put these two together and we have a delicious ‘cheesy’ taco dip with all the wonderful flavors of a taco dip minus the cheese.

This recipe came to form because I wanted to make a dairy-free taco dip version from a recipe in my Gluten-Free Party Food Cookbook.

MY LATEST VIDEOS

Uhh, did we not just make a super awesome and delicious vegan cheese dip a couple weeks ago? Uhhh, yesssssss.

One big happy batch of this Healthy Taco Dip was born from those two favorite recipes.

Totally scoop worthy kind of dip here.

Ready, Set, and Face-plant yourself into a pan of this.

If you wish to make this COMPLETELY vegan, I would substitute the ground beef with mushrooms and season accordingly, as you would the beef (or any other meat substitute you desire).

One thing I was missing when shooting this dish was the guacamole! Sounds crazy, I know, that the avocado-lover and daily-guacamole-consumer that I am would be missing guacamole for garnish.

Truthfully, I ate the last avocado for lunch the day of without thinking it through. It was a fail. Listen to me though when I say an extra dollop of guac on this Healthy Taco Dip will complete your life.

Mexican food does make the world go round. What would I do without my favorite cuisine!?

Top with a little guacamole, add my favorite taco sauce before serving, anddd life is officially fabulous.

I wish I could say there are a couple more weeks of non-stop finger foods galore in our future for March Madness.

Bacon Wrapped Dates, Seven Layer Bean Dip, Baked Potato Fries with Buffalo Dip! Ooo, and Buffalo Meatballs.

** SIGH **

It pained me to see the Michigan State Spartans lose on the first round . . . so painful.

It also pains me to know I will not have a good excuse to make my favorite tortilla dipping, finger licking, spicy foods. Since that loss, we just watch and root for the team that will cause an upset.

If your team is still in the Madness, I’ll pass the torch and give you all my favorite dishes to make.

As for me, well, tears have been shed and I’ll be eating this taco dip to console myself.
