Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 can (15 ounces) Black beans
- 1 can (16 ounces) Refried beans (fat-free)
- 1 cup Salsa
- 1 teaspoon Chili powder
- 1 teaspoon Cumin
- 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Onion powder
- 1 cup Reduced-fat shredded cheddar cheese
- 2 tablespoons Fresh cilantro (optional, for garnish)
- 1 as needed Nonstick cooking spray
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Lightly spray a medium-sized oven-safe baking dish with nonstick cooking spray and set aside.
Drain and rinse the black beans. In a medium mixing bowl, mash the black beans with a fork or potato masher until mostly smooth, leaving some texture if preferred.
Add the mashed black beans, refried beans, salsa, chili powder, cumin, garlic powder, and onion powder to a large bowl. Mix well until all ingredients are evenly combined.
Transfer the bean mixture to the prepared baking dish, spreading it out evenly.
Sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese evenly over the top of the bean mixture.
Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and the dip is heated through.
Remove the baking dish from the oven and let the dip cool slightly for 3-5 minutes.
Sprinkle fresh chopped cilantro on top, if desired, for garnish.
Serve warm with your choice of baked tortilla chips, fresh vegetable slices, or a side of guacamole.
