     Black beans are my favorite , so high in fiber too , I make this dip all the time , I eat it with veggies, tortillas , tostada , on crackers or just by itself . I made a pot of beans last week & had a different black bean recipe 5 days in a row & they were all delicious - 4/16/13

     Delish. I subbed red onion for the shallot. I also only had one lime and used about 1/4 cup of fresh tomatoes instead of tomato sauce. - 10/21/12

     Yummy with beans I had cooked in my pressure cooker. I used salsa instead of tomato sauce but I think a serrano would be great! - 5/9/12
