1
Place chips and veggie crumbles in microwave-safe bowl.
2
Heat until crumbles are thawed.
3
Add black beans or refried beans and cream cheese.
4
Heat until warmed through, about 2 minutes.
5
Add optional toppings, and heat if desired, depending on kinds of optional toppings you add.
6
Season with cumin and kosher salt to taste.
7
You may, of course, sub mozzarella or other cheese for the cream cheese.
8
I just happen to keep Neufchatel on hand since it's lower in fat but doesn't taste like the fat has been removed.
9
You could easily make this in the oven.
10
Usually, I don't want to deal with preheating the oven when I'm desperate enough to resort to microwaves, so I usually don't use it.
