One thing we pride ourselves on is that you can actually enjoy food on our cleanse! And I don’t mean, only eating something healthy that fills your belly, I mean really enjoying the taste of the food and feeling good after you eat it! You can even eat delicious, filling food at parties on the Ultimate Rejuvenation Cleanse. Case in point… this tasty layered bean dip that you can bring to your Super Bowl gathering this weekend! It has all the flavor of the unhealthy versions, without any of the junk. Go Pats!
Mexican Layer Dip
- 1 small red onion, chopped
- 1 jalapeno pepper, stemmed, seeded, and minced
- 2 tomatoes, diced
- ¼ tsp sea salt
- 1 clove garlic, peeled and minced, or crushed
- 2 Tbsp fresh cilantro, chopped
- 2 tsp fresh lime juice
- 1 recipe of refried beans (recipe below)
- 1 recipe of guacamole (recipe below)
Mix ingredients from onion through lime juice in a medium bowl. Layer refried beans along bottom of casserole pan, followed by a layer of guacamole, and then the tomato mixture. Serve with Beanitos, sliced jicama, or flax crackers.
Refried Beans
- ½ cup vegetable broth
- 2, 15-oz cans pinto beans, rinsed or cooked from scratch
- ¼ cup extra virgin olive oil
- 1 small onion, chopped
- 1 jalapeno pepper, stemmed, seeded, and minced
- 1 poblano chili stemmed, seeded, and minced
- ½ red pepper, stemmed, seeded, and chopped
- ¼ tsp sea salt
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- ½ tsp ground cumin
- 2 Tbsp fresh cilantro, chopped
- 2 tsp fresh lime juice
Blend broth and all but one cup of beans in food processor until smooth. Heat oil in 12- inch skillet. Sauté onion and peppers until softened. Add salt, garlic, and cumin stirring frequently until fragrant, about 1 minute. Add beans and stir until thoroughly combined. Reduce heat to medium and cook until beans are thick and creamy, about 5 minutes. Stir in cilantro and lime juice.
Guacamole
- 2 ripe avocados
- ½ tsp sea salt
- Juice from ½ lime
- ¼ cup diced red onion
- 1 jalapeno pepper, diced (wash hands immediately after)
- 2 cloves garlic, peeled and minced or crushed
- 2 Tbsp chopped cilantro
- Freshly ground black pepper, to taste
- ½ cup diced fresh tomato
Cut the avocados in half. Remove seed. Scope the insides out with a spoon. Mash the avocado with fork, potato masher, or your hands. Add the remaining ingredients and mix with a large spoon. Serve with chili, refried beans, salad dishes, freshly cut veggies, or flax crackers.
Note: When you are done mashing, you can rub the avocado from your hands onto your face for an all natural, beautifying spa treatment. Leave on for 10-15 minutes. Remember to wash it off before going to the party!
