NOT-SO-PRO TIPS
You can definitely mash the bean mixture by hand but I can’t recommend getting a food processor enough! I use mine for everything from frozen cocktails to falafel to Spiced Carrot Tots. You can swap out Greek yogurt for sour cream if you prefer or switch up the cheeses according to your tastes. I found 1/2 a cup of buffalo sauce to be just right but you can add it a little bit at a time to check for spicyness.
