Ingredients
1can(about 10 ounces) red enchilada sauce
6largeblue corn tortilla chips, crumbled
1cupdrained and rinsed canned black beans
1garlic clove
6-8sprigscilantro
1tablespoonolive oil
Instructions
In a skillet, simmer the enchilada sauce and tortilla chips over medium-high heat until the chips soften, about 3 minutes.
Add the enchilada sauce mixture, black beans, garlic and cilantro to a food processor, or blender (I used my Vitamix), and process until mixture thickens into a coarse puree.
Heat the oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the pureed bean mixture to the skillet and stir until well mixed with oil. Cook until the dip thickens slightly.
Add warm bean dip to a small serving bowl and serve with baked tortilla chips, warm tortillas, vegetables (carrot sticks, celery sticks, bell pepper strips, jicama sticks, etc.). This dip also makes a great topping for chicken tenders.
Store any leftover refried bean dip in an airtight container in the refrigerator.
