I love chips and dips! Salsa. Guacamole. Hummus. I love them all! This Plant-Based Chili Con Queso Mexican Cheese Dip is no exception! Today, I used Impossible Foods plant-based burger patty for a healthier vegan, plant-based meat alternative base! Grab your favourite tortilla chips, kick back and relax with Netflix!
