Really great dip - I would suggestt cutting the amount of salt in half though.
This is a very flavorful and easy to make dip the mayo and sour cream are not overpowering.
PLEASE first off DRAIN THE BEANS WELL. I mean well as in paper towel them off. Insane sounding but the first batch that I just made is as watery as all get out. I have cooked with beans before and don't know why I didn't do this. I also used a ton more cilantro omitted the picante and added lemon juice. As I am attempting to replicate a bean dip from the best local Mexican restaurants in Pgh I put the mixture into a blender...it's gross looking but tastes good. I will also bake it to get it warm (preference) and serve with blue corn chips. I hope that this works!
This recipe is wonderful. I had a huge amount of black beans and did not know what to do with them. Found this recipe and my husband loved it. Great for super bowl Sunday. Substitued chili powder with paprika subtitued green chilis with jalopenos. Worked out just fine.
First as to the other reviews that say it is way too salty the salt and olive oil are to make the chips not to put in the dip. I thought it had a really good flavor I may add more beans or less picante because it was a little too watery. Or add shredded cheese to thicken it up. My husband wants to try to add chicken...? But it had a great flavor and it was super easy. For me these are all items I almost always have on hand too!
This recipe is pretty good. I added lime juice and onions to add some extra fresh flavors. I also only used about 1/4 c. salad dressing instead of 1/2 c.
Not too shabby. I used smart balance brand mayo instead of a miracle whip just used a pinch of salt had no cilantro but it is pretty good. I did add just a splash of lemon juice as someone else mentioned and I think it adds to the flavor. GO for it. It is a nice alternative to a really fatty dip. Oh I even ommitted the olive oil. So it is worth a shot I think.
OK but DO NOT ADD ANY OF THE SALT!! Idea is good but have to make one more time to see if I can tone it down.
My husband enjoys bean dip waaaaay too much. I left out the Miracle Whip and used FF sour cream and he couldn't tell the difference! Flavorful and healthy too!
