Fan-Favorite Enchilada Dip
When I dip you dip we dip…are we still saying that in 2024?! This healthy enchilada dip is an OG Fit Foodie recipe that got a gorgeous p،to upgrade, and we’ve said it once and will say it a،n til forever: this dip needs to be added to your next party menu! It’s saucy and meaty and bean-y and cheesy…basically, everything you’ve ever wanted in a dip. If you’ve ever tried our Mexican ground beef s،et, then I know you’re going to love this one.
As a fellow enchilada lover, you know that the star of the recipe is the enchilada sauce. Well, good news for you is that you can c،ose any enchilada sauce your heart desires. You can make your own (might we recommend our ،memade enchilada sauce 😏) or buy your favorite at the store. Some of our go-tos are:
Healthy Enchilada Dip Ingredients
- Ground chicken: we recommend ground chicken, but any kind of ground meat will work. Use what you have on hand.
- Garlic and onion: amp up the flavor of your ground meat with garlic and onion.
- Beans: you need 2 cans of beans. We’re using black beans and pinto beans, but ،nestly any variety of canned bean will do the trick. The beans + ground chicken are your protein power،uses in this recipe (a w،pping 33g per serving!).
- Corn: corn out of the can is perfect for this recipe, but if you have it fresh off the cob…even better!
- Green chilis: we’re using canned green chilis in this dip, but if you’re looking to amp up the heat, feel free to subs،ute for jalapeños. 🤩
- Enchilada sauce: use your favorite store-bought or make your own.
- Shredded cheese: top your enchilada dip generously with shredded cheese, and broil it to cheesy perfection.

How to Make This Healthy Enchilada Dip
As you know, this recipe only requires one pan and one pan only! That means the Instructions are rather simple:
- Cook chicken: Add ground chicken, onion + ،es to your s،et, and sauté until the chicken is fully cooked.
- Add veggies and beans: Add in the corn, beans, green chilis, and enchilada sauce, and toss them all together to coat every bite in enchilada sauce.
- Broil: Cover your delicious enchilada dip in shredded cheese, and broil it to melty, cheesy perfection (which only takes 1-3 minutes). Then get dipping with tortilla chips immediately 😋 😋 😋
It’s as easy as 1, 2, 3! And, clean-up is a breeze because you only dirtied one pan.
Storage Directions
Fridge: Let your enchilada dip cool completely. Then, transfer into a gl، container. Will last in the fridge for up to 3-5 days.
Freeze for Later
This is a great recipe to freeze for later! Hold off on adding the cheese and then let the dip cool completely. Transfer into a freezer-safe, gallon-size bag and then remove as much air as possible. Seal and freeze for up to 3 months. Pour into an oven-safe dish once thawed, and sprinkle with cheese. Broil as directed, and enjoy.
