The Best Homemade Chips and Dips

When I dip, you dip, we dip! Who doesn’t love chips and dips?! They’re such a great snack or appetizer to any meal. With so many different ways to dive in, I’ve rounded up some of our favorite homemade chip and dip recipes for you to enjoy!

It’s All About the Chip

I recommend using thick round corn tortilla chips or the multigrain tortilla chips from Food Should Taste Good because they’re the perfect shape and texture to turn the chip into a mini taco shell. I recommend buying a large bag of chips that doesn’t look like the bag has been smashed at all so you can find plenty of unbroken chips to use.

What Do I Need to Make Bean and Cheese Taco Bites?

Thick round tortilla chips
Refried beans
Shredded Monterey Jack and cheddar cheese
Baking sheet

Shredded cheese, round tortilla chips, and refried beans in small bowls.

How to Make Bean and Cheese Taco Bites

Preheat oven to 350°F. Spray a large baking sheet with non-stick cooking spray.
Space the chips out on the baking sheet. Spread about 2 teaspoons of refried beans down the middle of each chip being sure to spread all the way to the edges of the chip. (The beans will help soften the middle of the chip as they bake so it’s easy to fold into a taco without the chip breaking.)
Sprinkle about a tablespoon of shredded Monterey Jack and cheddar cheese over the beans on each chip.
Bake the chips for 5-7 minutes or until the cheese is melted.

The steps to making bean and cheese taco bites.

Remove from oven and fold each chip into a taco shape before transferring to a serving plate.
Serve with salsa, sour cream and/or guacamole for dipping.
