Bean and Banana Dip image

This is an Ecuadorian recipe which I got from the book, "South American Cooking". The author suggests that it is good for tailgate parties. Unusual and maybe even a little "weird", but one of those combos that surprises you with how good it is. This would halve easily if you're not feeling daring and would rather make a smaller quantity. :)
