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
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Step 2
Lightly spray a medium-sized oven-safe baking dish with nonstick cooking spray and set aside.
Step 3
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.
Step 4
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.
Step 5
Transfer the bean mixture to the prepared baking dish, spreading it out evenly.
Step 6
Sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese evenly over the top of the bean mixture.
Step 7
Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and the dip is heated through.
Step 8
Remove the baking dish from the oven and let the dip cool slightly for 3-5 minutes.
Step 9
Sprinkle fresh chopped cilantro on top, if desired, for garnish.
Step 10
Serve warm with your choice of baked tortilla chips, fresh vegetable slices, or a side of guacamole.
