In college, I made this guacamole-bean dip and ate a lot of it because it was inexpensive, satisfying, and nutritious. This is the ideal snack or dinner for me when I’m lacking in fiber. Serve with tortilla chips or pita.

I’ve made this a couple of times. Super easy snack food…or a watch-tv-dinner. I did run everything through a food processor to mix more thoroughly. It’s not real pretty, but still very tasty. Might experiment with different cheeses. thanks!
I added salsa and sour cream it’s amazing!!!
Made this for a girls night cuz I had all the ingredients in the house and it was a huge hit! Will def make it again.
Thank you!! I didn’t know what I was gonna make for dinner, looked on AR for something with black beans but everything looked too involved or I didn’t have the right ingredients…then I ran across this simple and delicious recipe! I took the advice of reviewers and added some chopped tomatoes, chili powder and cumin. Mixed it all together spread into a 9×13, sprinkled cheddar on top and baked just long enough to melt the cheese. Served on top of baked (to make them crunchy) corn tortillas. Perfect easy and quick!
I always add a few little touches. Defs put it in the oven, dont microwave!
This is so delicious and so simple to make. I made it basically by the recipe. I had read the reviews though and noticed that several people had added salsa so I did the same. The only other alteration was I used the entire can, but only because I reread the instructions after I had added most of the ingredients and noticed it said 1/2 can. It still turned out great. I really liked the lemon. It added the right kiss to finish it off.
Delicious. Very simple and quick.
I added a some diced tomatoes, cumin, and chili powder for seasoning.
Easy and delicious!
Very tasty! But I also tried it with Red Kidney beans ( My fav!)or Pinto beans and a little Hot Sauce – delish!
My middle son devoured this. I am considering making a large batch and freezing it in small containers for his school lunch. It’s a nice change from guacamole.
My wife said it was the best dip I had ever made. I went to get my camera. When I got back it was just about gone!
Awesome & versatile! I made this last night & served it with homemade chicken tacos. They were devoured! I had extra leftover, so I had it with my breakfast tacos this morning. Fabulous!
This makes a pretty small portion, but since I am the only one at my house who eats it, it works great! Very simple, and very yummy!
Made this the other day but mixed in salsa as well and used Mexican cheese. Was very goo
Great appetizer. This was a hit @ our family bbq. I added minced jalapeños for a bit of a kick. Gonna add this recipe as a regular.
Good recipe. Used 2 cloves of garlic and added some fresh cilantro. Also used Mexican cheese blend instead of cheddar. Passed the kid test with flying colors!
I really like this dip, Made it as written. Thanks for the recipe.
This is a very good recipe, as written! I did some playing around with it and added some chopped grape tomatoes and green onion along with some additional garlic. I left the cheese out and served it cold and discovered that it is very tasty that way, as well! Thanks for the great recipe, Beebzz!!!
Easy to make even if you don’t have a microwave (like me!), just heat up the beans, mash them when they’re done, then add and mix in all the other ingredients. I’ve used it on crackers, tortillas and as a cold dip for nachos. Always a winner!
When I made this dip, I decided to keep it cold. I added a layer of hot sauce,some cilantro and cumin, followed by shredded cheese and topped it off with sour cream. I preferred it with my modifications. It was a good base for what I wanted to make.
