Dorm Room Feast
Black Bean Queso Fundido Mug
Mexican cheese dip meets protein-packed meal in this gooey, satisfying creation. Who says you need an oven for melted cheese magic?
Ingredients
- 1/4 cup canned black beans, drained
- 1/3 cup shredded cheese (cheddar, Monterey Jack, or Mexican blend)
- 2 tablespoons salsa
- 1 tablespoon sour cream or Greek yogurt
- 1/4 teaspoon cumin
- Pickled jalapeños (optional)
- Tortilla chips for dipping
Preparation
This mug meal blurs the line between dip and dinner, and honestly, that's exactly where the best dorm food lives. It's melted, spicy, comforting, and requires nothing more than a microwave and the confidence to call cheese a meal.
Preparation
- In your mug, combine the black beans, half of the shredded cheese, salsa, and cumin. Stir gently.
- Microwave for 45 seconds until the cheese begins to melt.
- Stir well to combine, then top with the remaining cheese.
- Microwave for another 30 to 45 seconds until the cheese on top is completely melted and bubbly.
- Let cool for 30 seconds (molten cheese is no joke).
- Top with a dollop of sour cream and pickled jalapeños if using.
- Grab your tortilla chips and dig in, scooping directly from the mug.
Pro tip: Make two mugs at once and share with a hallmate. It's better than any delivery queso.
