Now that summer is here, it means we’ve got plenty of reasons to celebrate — Father’s Day, 4th of July, Labor Day, pool parties, backyard barbecues, you name it. But what’s the most important part of a great summer party? The food, of course! Here’s a fun, festive and easy-to-prepare snack for summertime entertaining.
Mexican layer dip seems to be a staple at many parties during these warmer months. Why have one dip when you can have multiple in one big bite, right? Well here’s a twist on the original where Mexican layer dip gets an injection of Texas barbecue flavor, thanks to Stubb’s Legendary Bar-B-Q sauce and rub.
For this recipe, I blended Stubb’s Spicy Bar-B-Q Sauce with some black beans, onion, garlic, and cilantro for a smoky and slightly spicy kick to the dish. To take it up another notch, I mixed Stubb’s Pork Rub into the sour cream layer — it features chili pepper, paprika, and lime, and is a perfect complement to the other flavors in the dish. The result is a Tex-Mex barbecue makeover that’s sure to have you and your guests wishing you’d made a second batch. The black bean dip and spiced sour cream are even great on their own as solo dips if you’re in need of quick-fix appetizers.
Try this out for your next fiesta and you’ll surely be asked to make it again.
