I can not get enough of bean dips, especially lately on the weekends when we are usually watching college football and spending time with friends. Bean dips come in all shapes and sizes, hot or cold, and are always full of lots of good flavor.
This Black Bean Fiesta Dip has made an appearance in my kitchen several times over the last few years. It’s always a hit and doesn’t last very long. If you want to take it with you to a potluck, I usually bring the bean mixture in an airtight sealed container, along with the additional cheese and garnishes in plastic baggies or containers on the side and bake it there so that it’s hot and fresh when time to eat. I love to serve it with baked tortilla scoops to keep it on the lighter side but feel free to dig in with whatever tortilla chip your heart desires.
