The Perfect Black Bean Dip

1. 1

   Combine the black beans, tomato paste, lime juice, sour cream, cumin, cayenne pepper and two thirds of your chopped green onions in a sauce pot over medium heat.

2. 2

   Use a potato masher to lightly mash the contents of the pot together.

3. 3

   I prefer to leave some beans whole because it makes for a better looking end product.

4. 4

   Stir your bean dip constantly as it begins to warm through and then add the cheese.

5. 5

   The dip should be moist, warm, and aromatic.

6. 6

   Move your dip to a nice serving dish and sprinkle over the remaining green onions and serve with warm tortilla chips.
