Baked Mexican Black Bean Dip image

This dip is a great starter for a Mexican Themed dinner night. I'm not too wonderful with "precise measurements", so please use the spices listed to you own taste. I sometimes will add diced, fresh tomatoes on top when they're in season. Also, some green onion on top is always nice too.

Time 25m

Yield 4-6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 11

2 (15 ounce) cans black beans, drained and rinsed
8 ounces grated cheese, I like sharp cheddar
1/2 teaspoon cumin
1/4 teaspoon coriander
1/4 chili powder
cayenne pepper, to taste (optional)
1/2 cup sour cream (I use low fat)
1 -2 jalapeno, sliced (optional)
chopped fresh cilantro
shredded lettuce
tortilla chips, for scooping

Steps:

  • Mix black beans with cumin, coriander, chili powder and cayenne pepper and spread over the bottom of an over-proof baking dish.
  • I don't usually measure the spices, so please use them to your own taste.
  • (I'm a bit heavy handed with the cayenne pepper!) Sprinkle the grated cheese over top of the beans.
  • I usually sprinkle a little chili powder or cumin on top of the cheese to give it a little color.
  • Bake in preheated oven at 375°F for 10-15 minutes or until cheese is melted and bubbling slightly.
  • Remove from oven and spoon sour cream evenly over the top of the cheese.
  • Add shredded lettuce, jalapeños (if using), and top with fresh cilantro.
  • Serve immediately with nacho chips for dipping.
