Method
Prepare the Bean Dip
- 1
Combine the Beans
In a large mixing bowl, combine the canned black beans, pinto beans, and refried beans. Use a fork or a potato masher to mash the beans to your desired consistency, leaving some chunks for texture.

Add Vegetables
Stir in the fresh cilantro, diced tomatoes, chopped onion, and minced garlic into the mashed beans until well combined.

Season the Dip
Add ground cumin, chili powder, salt, black pepper, and lime juice to the mixture. Stir well to combine all the flavors.

Incorporate Sour Cream and Cheese
Gently fold in the sour cream and shredded cheese until evenly distributed throughout the dip. Set the dip aside.
Prepare the Chips

Cut the Tortillas
