Slow-cooked, blended smooth
Cooked down properly rather than mashed out of a can. That is the whole recipe and the whole difference.

Bean Dip
Creamy, slow-cooked bean dip made the way it is made at home — and the thing we give away free when you join our monthly newsletter.
What it is
Why we make it this way.
Bean dip is the quiet hero of a party table. Ours is slow-cooked and blended smooth, seasoned to sit next to our salsas rather than compete with them, and it disappears faster than anything else we put out. It is also the easiest thing in the world to bring to somebody else’s barbecue and take credit for.
- A spoon of Red Roasted on top
- Chips, obviously
- Alongside any dozen tamales
- On a burrito
Worth knowing
Three things about it.
Made to go with the salsas
Seasoned to sit under a spoonful of Red Roasted or Verde Hot. Bean dip plus salsa on the same chip is the move.

Frequently asked questions.
How do I get the free bean dip?
Sign up for our free monthly newsletter, then show your welcome email at our booth at either market and it is yours. One per household, and there is no catch — we just want you to try it.
Is the bean dip vegetarian?
Ask at the booth before you buy. It depends on the batch, and we would rather answer honestly in person than make a promise here.
Is it served warm or cold?
It travels cold and it is good cold. Warm it gently if you are putting it out at a party — it gets even better.
Family owned. Best tamales and salsa in the North State.
