Pepperjack shreds, seasoned soyrizo and jalapeño peppers kick this Cheezy Soyrizo Bean Dip up a few notches! It's a perfectly delicious appetizer.
Here is my warning to you: This cheezy soyrizo bean dip is highly addictive, and not for the faint of heart. This is not a healthy dip, although it could be much worse; but it is absolutely perfect for parties, get-togethers and any other occasion in which you would need an awesome appetizer. I know first hand that this dip pairs well with Mexican lagers and margaritas!
I will say, this was not a completely original idea from myself. This started with my mother and her crazy bean dip that she's made for at least the past 10 years. Ever since I went vegan, I would smell the dip and get a tad bitter that I didn't want to eat any. This past week, I figured it was time for my own (vegan) version, and my parents and I agree that this is definitely a good match! Not to mention it was gone within a night between 4 people. Oops.
Melted Daiya Pepperjack shreds paired with the salty, well-seasoned soyrizo and an added kick from some pickled jalapeños means that this filling dip packs a punch when it comes to flavor. The TVP and black beans add some texture and protein to the mix, and (vegetarian) refried beans make up another part of the base. This dip is super easy to make, so it's great for a last-minute dish to bring to a party; maybe one of the Super Bowl variety, since that's tomorrow?? 😉

Cheezy Soyrizo Bean Dip
Pepper jack shreds, seasoned soyrizo and jalapeño peppers kick this dip up a few notches! It’s a perfectly flavorful and crowd-pleasing appetizer.
Ingredients
- ½ cup (45 g) textured vegetable protein (TVP)
- ½ cup (120 ml) hot water
- 1 tablespoon (15 ml) tamari or liquid aminos
- 16-ounce (454 g) can vegetarian refried beans, mine were vegan
- 15-ounce (425 g) can black beans, drained and rinsed
- 8-ounces (227 g) soyrizo, or any other vegan chorizo
- ⅔ cup (65 g) vegan pepper jack shreds
- 2-3 tablespoons (26-39 g) minced pickled jalapeños
- 2 tablespoons (30 ml) brine from jalapeños
- Pinch of cayenne pepper
- ½ cup (120 ml) water or vegetable broth
Instructions
- In a small bowl, combine the dried TVP granules, hot water and liquid aminos. Stir together and let sit for 10 minutes so that the TVP can soak up all of the liquid.
- In a medium-large pot, over medium heat, combine the rest of the ingredients except for remaining water. Cover and let warm for 10 minutes, and add the TVP to the mixture.
- Once the shreds are melted, add the water and thin the dip out to your desired viscosity.
- I like to let it simmer for another 10 minutes so that the flavors meld together more. Serve warm with tortilla chips or veggies.

I just read about daiya in my yoga magazine, it sounds delicious! Your dip looks spicy and perfect for any party! Hugs, Terra
Thanks, Terra! Daiya is pretty nifty for when I need a good cheese substitute, their wedges are also awesome!
Wow - I seriously need this dip in my life pronto!
This bean dip is absolutely magic!! We used Trader Joe's meatless crumbles in place of the TVP and skipped the soaking step, and added a bit of dried cilantro and granulated onion, keeping the rest the same. Amaaaazing! Will be making this again and again. Perfect for an appetizer or party dish!
Sorry, forgot to also mention we used the Cuban style black beans and salsa style refried beans from Trader Joe's!
I'm so glad that you enjoyed it!! I'll have to try your shortcuts next time. <3
