Making your own tortilla chips helps manage fat levels. Organic refried beans may have at least half the sodium of conventional ones and can have a drier texture. We add a little lime juice to smooth out the beans and enhance the flavor. Using organic salsa also helps keep sodium in check. This bean dip comes together quickly for parties or as an appetizer course.
