Spicy Southwestern Bean Dip

Hello, my name is Rachel and I blog over at {I Love} My Disorganized Life. I am so excited to be here sharing with you! First, here’s a little bit about me. I live in Southern Arizona with my husband, our five children, daughter-in-law and two grandchildren. I am a stay-at-home-mom and love every crazy minute of it. I love to eat! I have quite the sweet tooth, so you’ll see lots of treats on my blog. I love all kinds of food, too, but Mexican and Italian are my favorites.

I am a huge snacker. Some days, instead of eating lunch I just snack. And snack, and then snack some more! Of my top ten favorite snacks, chips and salsa rank pretty high up there. I could seriously eat them all.day.long. But a girl needs protein, so I’ve come up with a way to have my vice without feeling too guilty. Spicy Southwestern Bean Dip is not only full of protein and fiber, but it also contains no dairy. Plus it’s super easy to whip up. I love that it’s so versatile. You can add as little or as much ‘heat’ as you like {since everyone’s tolerances are different}. You can also change up the mix-ins, depending on your mood or what you have on hand. So let’s get cooking!

What’s your favorite food to snack on?

Ingredients

• 15 oz canned black beans, drained (You can also use dried beans, cooked according to package directions. This would make the dip gluten free, as well!)
• 1-2 Tbsp olive oil
• 1 Tbsp fresh lemon juice
• 1 tsp hot chile powder {I used New Mexico chile powder}
• ¼ tsp salt
• ¼ cup diced tomato
• ¼ diced yellow onion
• ¼ cup cilantro leaves, cleaned and chopped
• 2 Tbsp jalapeno pepper, seeded and diced (or more depending on how spicy you want it)

Instructions

1. In a blender or food processor, blend beans with olive oil and lemon juice until smooth.
2. Transfer to a medium-sized bowl and stir in remaining ingredients. Chill for at least an hour to allow spices to blend flavors.
3. Enjoy with chips and your favorite cold beverage!
4. Some mix-in options are yellow corn, hominy, and red or green onion.
