By substituting reduced-fat for regular cheese and using a cup less of it. They also substituted reduce-fat sour cream and cream cheese plus fat-free refried beans. To make up for less fat(which adds moisture), they stirred in a can of diced tomatoes and green chilies.—Taste of Home Test Kitchen, Greendale, Wisconsin

You won't miss the fat in the sour cream....but the cheese just isn't the same. However, as reduced fat goes, this recipe is good.

This does not taste light and is a constant on Mexican night.

My husband, Don, could eat this dip every week if I let him! Though we live in Sedona, the winters can get chilly, and we really enjoy this dip with different cut vegies, chips and crackers. Thanks for a great recipe! Joy Wilmot
