Approximate Cost: $13.63 and $15.63 if I make a double batch of queso. The approximate cost breakdown is as follows: refried beans: $0.73, guacamole $3.67, tofu sour cream and onion dip $1.88, queso $2.00, homemade salsa $2.60, store-bought salsa $2.42, ¼ cup chopped cilantro $0.12, ⅛ cup sliced pickled jalapenos $0.21.

For an Easy Grape Tomato Salsa: Add 2 cups grape tomatoes to a food processor with ¼ cup diced red onion, ¼ cup packed cilantro, 1 tbsp lime juice, 1 tsp chilli powder, ½ tsp cumin, ¼ tsp garlic powder, ⅛ tsp salt, and 1 tbsp sliced jalapenos. Lightly pulse until the tomatoes are broken down and the salsa is nicely combined. Depending on the size of your serving dish and whether you will drain excess water from the salsa, you may want to double this recipe to ensure there is enough salsa to cover the top of the dip.

Feel free to make this recipe as convenient for you as possible. Use more store-bought elements if needed, change the number of layers, use shredded lettuce in place of the cilantro… have fun and use this layered dip as inspiration for your own creation!
