I love discovering simple and delicious recipes, especially when it comes to Mexican-inspired dishes. This quick and easy black bean dip originally comes from Tasty Kitchen, shared by member missamy, and it has quickly become a favorite in my home. Since we eat Mexican food all the time, I’m always on the lookout for new appetizers and side dishes to add to our rotation. This dip is incredibly easy to make, packed with flavor, and perfect for serving with tortilla chips or as a topping for tacos and burritos.

While I loved the creamy texture and rich taste, I was hoping for a little more heat. Next time, I think I’ll swap out the tomato sauce for taco sauce to give it an extra kick. You could also add diced jalapeños, a dash of hot sauce, or even some chipotle powder for a smoky spice. Whether you keep it mild or turn up the heat, this black bean dip is a fantastic addition to any Mexican meal!
