Frequently asked questions
What is Hatch green chile bean dip?
Hatch green chile bean dip is a warm, baked party dip built on creamy refried beans, cream cheese, and sour cream, with smoky roasted Hatch green chile and jalapeño blended in. A blanket of cheddar melts over the top until bubbly and golden. It's served hot with tortilla chips or as a burrito filling.
Can I make Hatch green chile bean dip ahead of time?
Yes. Assemble the dip in its baking dish, cover, and refrigerate up to a day ahead, then bake just before serving. You can also bake it fully and reheat covered in a 350F oven until hot and bubbly again. Leftovers keep three to four days and make a great burrito filling.
How spicy is this bean dip?
It lands at a comfortable medium. Roasted Hatch green chile brings smoky, gentle warmth while the jalapeno and red chile powder add a little kick. To dial it up, use hot Hatch chile or extra jalapeno; to soften it, skip the jalapeno seeds and use mild chile. You control the heat entirely.
Where can I buy Hatch green chile for bean dip?
The Hatch Chile Store ships roasted Hatch green chile and red chile powder from our family farms in the Hatch Valley of New Mexico. Roasted frozen chile blends smoothly into the bean base, and our New Mexico red chile powder adds the deep, earthy warmth that defines this dip.
