If you are looking for the perfect spicy bean dip, look no further! This delicious Jalapeno Bean Dip is the perfect addition to any game day table. With the super bowl just around the corner, you can’t go wrong with this dip. We love it for game days but literally any day is a good day to eat it!

Of course it can be eaten the traditional way as a dip but we have used the leftover overs in a variety of ways including:

• Nachos- place the bean dip on the chips then add whatever toppings you like! Guacamole, sour cream, tomato, olives, cilantro, onion, etc.
• Quesadillas- add meat or just use the beans and make quesadillas. Again add toppings for serving.
• Burritos- just a simple burrito with or without meat and whatever additions you prefer.
• Tostada-this dip is delicious on a baked corn tortilla and topped with meat and all the toppings.

And for those of you who don’t love spicy but love a good bean dip, this recipe is simple to adjust! Here’s what you do.

1. Switch the jalapeno cheese for a Mexican blend shredded cheese.
2. Omit the jalapenos in and on the dip.
3. Omit the green chili seasoning and do 3 Tbsp taco seasoning instead.

That’s it! So easy, so delicious! Enjoy!
