This is a basic black bean dip, enjoyed by my children and their friends. In my house, the simpler the recipe, the more the children are bound to try and enjoy it. The chunky stuff in a dish tends to not go over well. To add more of a kick to it for adults, you can add cayenne pepper, chopped fresh tomato, chopped avocado, and/or chopped red pepper. Serving size is based on this being an appetizer. Ingredients:
2 (15 ounce) cans black beans (with juice) |
1/2 onion, finely diced |
5 cloves garlic, minced |
3 tablespoons olive oil |
1/4 teaspoon ground cumin |
salt and pepper, to taste |
4 ounces cream cheese |
4 ounces shredded cheese (i prefer mexican combination ) |
sour cream, to garnish |
tortilla chips, to serve with |
Directions:
1. Over low heat, saute onion and garlic in olive oil.
2. Add cumin, salt and pepper.
3. Don't let brown.
4. When translucent add both cans of black beans, with juice.
5. Turn heat up a bit and using a masher , stir and mash bean mix.
