    Let me get this straight. I put 1/2 cup dip on each chip. Yeah right three stars for ridiculous stats. - 1/8/12

    This sounds like my layer dip too. Yummy! I do put black olives in for a healthy fat. It helps to melt the other fat out of our bodies. I learned this from the "Flat Belly Diet Book" I am so glad to have olives, avacados, and nuts back again. Yea! - 8/20/10

    A great remake! incredible and you don't lose the taste - though it helps knowing how much healthier this is! I didn't tell my son about it being "healthy" and he loved it. hahaha. Thanks for this! Oh, and I left out the cilantro - but that's just because I don't like cilantro. Not recipe's problem! - 7/31/10

    We LOVED this dip! My husband really likes the lime tortilla chips! Since he doesn't like green onions, I left them off. On my portion of the chip, I added a little hot sauce to spice it up and it was great! Thanks, Chef Meg! - 2/9/10

    It's hard to eat only two chips, so I just put the dip on top of a lot of salad greens to make it more of a meal! - 5/27/13

    This was very good--even my daughter ate a full serving (except for the tomatoes). I was worried about the lime but it wasn't overpowering, just refreshing. I will make this again! - 2/7/10

    It sounds good but it takes some time to make - 2/3/10

    My go to replacements for refried beans and even low fat sour cream are pureed canned beans and non fat yogurt that I've drained with cheesecloth or a coffee filter in a collander. Sometimes put a plate on top to drain faster. Determine consistency by how long you drain it - few min. to hours. - 1/8/12

    I make something similar, but I add cumin and lime juice to the black beans, I don't use any refried beans, and I keep the olives. They aren't empty calories - olives are good for you! But I don't use can - I chop up kalamata myself. YUM - 8/12/10

    Made this for the Superbowl! My husband loved it and we didn't even miss the meat and extra cheese we usually make in taco dips. Love it! So fresh tasting! - 2/28/10

    Thanks for the recipe i was looking for something new and low fat for the SuperBowl and here it is thank you and I will give you 5 stars for this - 2/3/10

    If you dip the tortillas in hot water (nearly boiling) before baking them, you won't need the oil at all. - 1/7/13
  • ALISPARKY
    This would be great with greek plain non fat yogurt instead. Yum! - 2/2/11

    I made this last night and it was a hit. It's a keeper.
    Thanks Chef Meg! - 9/26/10

    I dont like lime chips..but husband liked this...I used red peppers stripes for my chips..on that was good... - 8/6/17
  • RENIESSPARKIN
    My taste buds are standing up and hollaring, "MORE!" Great stuff. Thanks. - 6/29/13
  • STANGSTER
    The fat free greek yogurt is a great idea. it adds protien and calcium that sour cream lacks. This sounds like a great mini meal. i will probably skip the chips though. They sound great, but just two is such teaser. - 6/29/13
  • CAROLESUNSHINE
    I made this salad, without the chips, for friends and everyone raved. Really delicious. - 5/30/13

    It looked better than it tasted. I think I would add less cilantro and I would like yellow onion rather than green onions. - 5/28/13
  • JUSTJULLIE
    I love dips but don't care for chips - I do use them as a vehicle for getting the dip in my mouth, lol. So 2 chips is great - one to back up the first one in case it gets soggy :) I might give jicama a try or maybe celery and those I would probably eat. Thanks for the recipe. - 2/1/12

    i think this is going to be a regular in my house - 10/27/10

    I'm absolutely over the moon for this! - 8/24/10

    Another suggestion would be to use reduced-sodium black beans to further lower the sodium. I also might use just a little low-fat or fat-free cheese to get some of that cheese flavor I love! - 8/10/10
