Five Minute Black Bean Salsa Dip
Five Minute Black Bean Salsa Dip is a fantastic snack and appetizer. This isn’t a cooked or heated dip; it’s served immediately after mixing or chilling. It’s nice to take advantage of convenient canned beans to make a hearty and delicious snack anytime. Late July Sea Salt Dippers or Tostitos Baked scoop-type chips are perfect for this bean and salsa dip, but of course, any chip will do. We like this dip served alongside our enfrijoladas; the flavors truly complement each other nicely.
