Bean Dip

Today was cold and snowy and I wanted a hearty lunch.  I turned to an old standby:  bean dip with organic tortilla chips!  Want to try it?  Here's what you'll need:

• 1 Cup canned refried beans (Make sure they're vegan.)
• 2 - 3 Tbsp. salsa
• Sliced jalapenos to taste
• 1/2 Cup vegan cheese alternative, shredded

Blend the refried beans, salsa and jalapenos in a microwave safe bowl.  Cover and microwave on high for 2 minutes, 30 seconds.  Mix in the "cheese" and heat an additional 30 seconds, or until the "cheese" is melted.  Enjoy with the chips while hot!
