Satiating Treats

Use two 14 ounce cans of black beans (rinsed and drained).

Add 1-2 garlic cloves (chopped, pressed whatever).

Squeeze in the juice from two limes.

Add a 1/2 cup or so of medium salsa.

Put all of it in a food processor and process until smooth. If it is really thick add more salsa until it smooths out. Also taste it to see if you want to add more salsa or lime.

I like to serve it in a pie dish, but use whatever, just as long as it is kind of deep.

Spoon the whole mixture into your dish and even out.

Spread an entire container of Dean’s Zesty Guacamole on top (this is like the secret ingredient, we have tried it with regular guac and it just isn’t as good! you can buy it in Kroger in the cream cheese section or somewhere around there). If you don’t have Zesty Guacamole, you can use regular guacamole and add medium salsa to it until it tastes “zesty”.

Sprinkle shredded cheese ( I like to use a Mexican cheese mix) over top. I think maybe about a cup, but I never measure, so don’t really know. I just cover with however much I feel like using.

Take more medium salsa and put along the edge of the dish and the center. Sometimes I use sour cream too, but people tend to eat around it because they want to be healthy. I think it looks prettier with the sour cream. If you use the sour cream, then put that along the inside edge after you do the salsa. Then put a small scoop in the center on top of the salsa.

Serve with chips.
