Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 15 oz black beans, canned (low-sodium)
- 2 tbsp lime juice, freshly squeezed
- 1 tsp cumin, ground
- 1 cup Greek yogurt, plain (nonfat)
- 2 medium avocado
- 1 medium lime, zested
- 1 cup tomato, diced
- 0.25 cup red onion, finely chopped
- 2 tbsp cilantro, freshly chopped
- 1 small jalapeño, finely diced
- 0.5 cup shredded Mexican cheese blend
- 1 bag corn tortilla chips
- 1 tsp salt
- 0.5 tsp pepper
Instructions
1. In a medium bowl, mash the black beans with a fork or potato masher until mostly smooth. Stir in 1 tablespoon of lime juice, cumin, and a pinch of salt and pepper. Set aside.
2. In another bowl, mash the avocados until creamy. Add the remaining 1 tablespoon of lime juice, lime zest, and a pinch of salt. Mix well and set aside.
3. Prepare the yogurt layer by seasoning the plain Greek yogurt with a pinch of salt and pepper to taste. Stir well and set aside.
4. In a separate small bowl, mix the diced tomato, red onion, cilantro, and jalapeño. Add a pinch of salt and stir to combine.
5. Layer the dip in a serving dish (a clear glass dish works well to showcase the layers): start with the black bean mixture, followed by the Greek yogurt, then the avocado mash, the tomato salsa, and finally, sprinkle the shredded Mexican cheese blend on top.
6. Serve immediately with corn tortilla chips, or cover and refrigerate until ready to serve (up to 4 hours).
