Spicy White Bean Buffalo Dip with baked lime tortilla chips and veggie sticks.

I am crazy for a spicy wing sauce. The wings? Not so much. Meat on the bone is a struggle for me. With the impending Super Bowl XLV-whatever, football food is a must. While the superfeast is mostly about the meat, it's also about the messy indulgences, right? Instead of wings, I wanted something to satisfy that need for heat without the meat. Then it hit me. Dip baby, dip.

I baked up a Vegetarian White Bean Spicy Buffalo Dip recipe with baked lime tortilla chips. Even though no meat is involved, this spicy buffalo dip is still just as much a guilty pleasure as its winged counterpart.

The tangy, spicy flavor of the hot sauce is intercepted by the creamy bean and cheese base and is serious tastebud touchdown. When paired with lime-spritzed, baked tortilla chips and veggie sticks it will give you enough yardage to keep you satisfied through halftime. So, go ahead and drop down, double-up on those dips. It is the laziest day of the year, after all.

Spicy White Bean Buffalo Dip Ingredients
Here are the ingredients you'll need to win the Super Bowl of football snacks. So simple.
White Bean Buffalo Dip Chives Chopped
The fresh chives give the dip a mild herby flavor.
White Bean Buffalo Dip Cheese Mix
Smoked mozzarella, chipotle cheddar, cream cheese and fresh chives mix together in perfect formation.
White Bean Buffalo Dip Wing Sauce
The buffalo sauce takes possession of the cheese mixture.
White Bean Buffalo Dip Extra Hot Sauce
While tangy and delicious, the buffalo wing sauce wasn't quite hot enough for me. So, I went for the two-point conversion and added some dashes of this Louisiana Extra Hot Sauce to get fired up.
White Bean Buffalo Dip Cheese Mix
The cheeses, buffalo sauce and chives all mixed up. Not the most appetizing pic in the world but once baked it tastes like a touchdown.

Description

This Vegetarian Spicy White Bean Buffalo Dip Recipe is a tastebud touchdown made with spicy hot sauce and creamy bean and cheese base.

Ingredients

Units

Spicy White Bean Buffalo Dip

  • white navy beans (drained and rinsed - 1 can (15 ounces))
  • cream cheese - softened - 8 ounces
  • shredded smoked mozzarella - ½ cup
  • shredded chipotle cheddar (or plain cheddar - 1 cup)
  • FRANK'S® REDHOT® Original Cayenne Pepper Sauce or FRANK'S® REDHOT® Buffalo Wings Sauce - ½ cup
  • extra hot (hot sauce (if you need a kick) - whatever gets you there)
  • fresh chives - finely chopped - 2 tablespoons

Baked Lime Tortilla Chips

  • corn tortillas - 6
  • olive oil - 2 tablespoons
  • coarse salt - 1-2 teaspoons
  • fresh ground pepper - ¾ teaspoon lime - 1

Instructions

Vegetarian White Bean Spicy Buffalo Dip

  1. Preheat oven to 350°.
  2. Begin by blending together the cream cheese, ¼ cup of the smoked mozzarella and ¾ cup of the chipotle cheddar in a mixing bowl. Add 1 ½ tablespoons of the finely chopped chives and mix.
  3. Pour the hot sauce over the cheese mix. Use a spatula to fully incorporate the hot sauce into the cheese mixture.
  4. Stir in the beans and blend them in with the cheese mixture. Once fully blended transfer the mixture into a ovenproof dish and spread evenly.
  5. Sprinkle the top with remaining cheeses.
  6. Bake for 25-30 minutes until it starts to bubble and turn golden brown.
  7. Remove from oven and sprinkle with remaining fresh chives.

Baked Lime Tortilla Chips

  1. While the spicy white bean buffalo dip is baking, prepare your tortilla chips.
  2. Start by stacking the tortillas and cutting into wedges, I got 8 wedges from each tortilla. (So a total of 48 thick cut tortilla chips)
  3. Transfer the tortilla chips to a baking sheet, drizzle with olive oil and toss the tortilla wedges around to fully coat each one in oil.
  4. Spread the tortilla wedges evenly over the baking sheet and sprinkle liberally with salt and pepper.
  5. Add the chips to the oven, with the dip during the last 8-12 minutes (baking time will depend on the thickness of tortillas). They should bake up and finish right around the same time as the dip. Watch them to be sure they don't burn, you may want to turn them over once during baking.
  6. If you want extra crispy chips (I like mine a little chewy) crank the oven up to broil, once the dip has finished, and broil for 1-3 minutes, watching to be sure they don't burn.
  7. Once the chips are baked to your liking, remove from the oven and spritz them with fresh lime juice. Now you're set, chip and dip!

      Ha, I bet you do! I actually got it in Portland in a little shop on Mississippi, I am blanking on the name. It's right near Mississippi Studios. Maybe they still have them. 😀

    Two words: come on!! Looks awesome, Becky! Making it this weekend and serving along with a side of power pellets. Go Hawks!

    Looks delicious! Can't wait to make this tomorrow. I'm hoping to use up some leftover blue cheese too.

    • beckysue says

      Oh yum, blue cheese would be so good with this! I will have to try that next time, thanks for the suggestion, Lindsay!

    This is the best dip I've ever had with the smoked mozzarella and Gouda chipotle. Even my husband love and he's a meat eater. I also made a bowl for my coworkers tomorrow for our party. # winner

      Oh yay, glad to hear it! No meat needed with this satisfying dip! 😀 Enjoy.
