Plant-based taco dip 🌮💚

I'm sure others have done this, but I decided to use the second half of my @mcdougallmom ranch dressing to make a chunky taco dip. 🌮 One of the very first recipes I shared online years and years ago was a homemade taco seasoning that I still use today, and this uses a variation of that recipe.

Also, I can't stop looking at that beautiful @rancho_gordo Mexican oregano in the second photo; there's a whole tiny leaf in there!! 🍃

📌 RECIPE / Here's what I did:

½ batch @mcdougallmom ranch dressing
2 tbsp dry potato flakes (use more or less to thicken)
¼ tsp maple syrup
1 tsp chili powder (I did half regular & half new mex)
½ tsp cumin
¼ tsp slightly heaping black pepper
¼ tsp scant paprika
– Blend above
– Pulse in 1/4 cup cilantro leaves and stems
– Mix in:
2 tsp dry minced onion
1 tsp dry minced garlic
Big pinch of Mexican oregano (or oregano would be fine)

It should thicken and meld after refrigeration 🤞
