Southwestern Layered Bean Dip Recipe

Superbowl Sunday is just around the corner and most of the snacks such as chips, wings, pizza, etc are high in fat and calories.  Here is a delicious dip recipe that has some healthier alternatives such as avocado, black beans, and veggies.

  • 1/2 cup reduced-fat sour cream
  • 1 1/2 cups chopped romaine lettuce
  • 1 medium tomato, chopped
  • 1 medium avocado, chopped
  • 1/4 cup canned sliced black olives, (optional)

Directions

  • Combine refried beans, black beans, scallions, salsa, cumin, chili powder and jalapeños in a medium bowl. Transfer to a shallow 2-quart microwave-safe dish; sprinkle with cheese.
  • Microwave on High until the cheese is melted and the beans are hot, 3 to 5 minutes.
