This easy chicken enchilada dip is creamy, cheesy, and loaded with shredded chicken, black beans, and tons of delicious enchilada flavors! It takes just minutes to throw together and can be prepped in advance, which is why it’s one of my favorite appetizers!

Notes

    • Season. There are a lot of flavorful ingredients in this recipe, but don’t forget to season it well with salt and pepper! That’s the easiest way to boost the overall flavor of the dish and make each of the ingredients shine.

    • Vegetarian. To make this dip vegetarian, just omit the chicken! Add an extra can of black beans in place of the chicken for a hearty vegetarian appetizer!
