Individual warm chili dips

These adorable mini dips are a portion-controlled option that is sure to delight your guests. The cold, fresh toppings are a nice contrast to the warm, creamy, cheesy dip. You could also use drained and rinsed black beans or fat-free refried beans in place of the chili, if you like, (or to provide a vegetarian option) or use refrigerated pico de gallo in place of the red bell pepper. The dips can be assembled up to two days ahead and stored in the fridge. Then warm them up just as guests arrive. Serve them with tortilla chips and fresh sliced vegetables.
