Vegan Taco Dip ~ Healthy Mexican Sides & Dips ~ Perfect for Cinco De Mayo ~ Fiesta!

I Can't Believe It's Vegan! Taco Dip 


Serves 6 - 8
Ingredients:

1 - 12 oz container Vegan sour cream (Tofutti brand is delicious!)
3/4 Packet Vegan low-sodium taco season mix
1 ripe avocado, mashed
1 cup black olives, chopped
3 stalks green onion, diced
1 cup chopped tomatoes, Pico De Gallo, or our try Garden Salsa Recipe!
1 package Vegan meat crumbles (about 1 pound)

Directions:
Prepare refried beans by heating on stove. While beans are heating, in a separate pan add frozen meat crumbles in into 1/4 cup water or olive oil. Cook according to package directions. Add Taco Season into cooked meat crumbles and stir. (Don't be afraid to get happy with the Taco mix, it's the season that really is needed to give the crumbles an authentic taco meat flavor. It makes the dish!)
In a serving tray or in individual bowls spread bottom layer of refried beans. Next add a layer of meat crumbles, sour cream, avocado, chopped tomatoes or fresh salsa, black olives, green onions, and salt and pepper to taste. Serve immediately or refrigerate.
Delish!



Whole Foods makes some wonderful freshly made tortilla chips that are hardy and great for thick dips! You can find them in their Bakery department and like always, Whole Foods uses quality ingredients. These chips are so good warmed and they don't contain any animal derived ingredients. :)



Enjoy!
