Notes

  • Olive Oil:  If you do not have olive oil, use avocado oil.
  • Black Beans:  I highly suggest using black beans for this recipe but if for some reason you don't have access to them or don't like them then try red kidney beans.
  • Cooking: If you want to bake this dip, transfer it to a skillet and bake for 20 minutes at 400F. Top with cheese, sour cream, and salsa and stir.
  • Storage: The dip will last up to one week, in the fridge, in a tightly sealed container.
