Note
  • Tips for Preparation: For a festive presentation, sprinkle a bit of cheese on the chips before adding the veggie mixture to prevent sogginess.
  • Kid-Friendly Adjustment: If serving to kids, consider using an extra cup of cheese to mask the veggie flavors while still delivering nutrition.
  • Storage: The mixture can be refrigerated for up to four days, making it perfect for meal prep.
  • Variations:
    • For a hot cheese dip, heat a portion of the mixture in a microwaveable dish.
    • Transform it into quesadillas or southwestern egg rolls for a fun twist.
    • For a lighter option, make a bean salad without cheese, adding chopped tomatoes and balsamic vinegar.
