Spicy Black Bean Dip
"Consistently eaten by the batchful, this dip is meant to be shared. Super easy & very very tasty - the spiciness depends on how much spice you add. I like to serve this with white tortilla chips and strips of sweet bell peppers (the colors look nice together). This recipe is adapted slightly from Lean & Lovin' It! by Don Mauer."

This dip is delicious! I did tweak it slightly with the addition of three cloves of garlic, minced, the juice of two limes, and maybe 1/4 teaspoon of cayenne pepper. I will definitely be making this again. If left unprocessed, it would make a great quesadilla filling with some queso fresco! -
This disappeared very quickly. I could't find black beans, so I used a tin of 4 bean mix and it still turned out great

this is me in my biking get-up. my husband and i go on monthly critical mass bike rides with a group of local folks to promote alternative forms of transportation.
i'm originally from the Midwest, but my husband & i moved down here to Miami, FL, where we are both in a PhD program in anthropology.
for fun i watch lots and lots of movies, read novels, non-fiction, magazines, newspapers, graphic novels, catalogs, pretty much anything i can get my hands on, especially cookbooks.
my pets are rita and nesta, nearly identical brother & sister littermates. they are the most co-dependent kitties i have ever known. very sweet, but a little too clingy sometimes.
my pet peeves are the phrases, "i don't like it" followed by, "i've never had it".
