Preparation Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Base

    In a medium-sized mixing bowl, combine the canned black beans and softened cream cheese. Use a fork or potato masher to mash the beans and cream cheese together until smooth and well combined.

  2. 2

    Add Additional Ingredients

    To the mashed bean and cream cheese mixture, add the sour cream, shredded cheddar cheese, garlic powder, cumin, salt, and black pepper. Stir until all ingredients are thoroughly mixed.

  3. 3

    Incorporate Fresh Ingredients

    Fold in the chopped fresh cilantro and lime juice into the dip mixture. Make sure to combine everything well so the flavors meld together.

  4. 4

    Chill and Serve

    Transfer the bean dip to a serving bowl and cover with plastic wrap. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to develop. Serve chilled with tortilla chips or vegetable sticks.
