This is awesome! I used 2% Kraft Mexican-blend cheese and it worked great. I was in a hurry and accidentally added cumin before realizing the recipe called for chili powder, so I ended up adding both as well as a dash of salt. This is going to be fantastic wamed over chicken or even as a small side dish to a salad. It's got a great blend of flavors. Thanks for posting!

Wonderful flavor and texture--I loved this! Even my husband, who doesn't usually like beans, thought it was good. We didn't have any tortilla chips, so I used this as taco filling--and it worked out great! Thanks Kaarin!!!

This was very good...I think I added a little more cheese than listed, and next time will add a little more spice (we like hot so I'm thinking a dash or two of tabasco) but an overall excellent flavor!

Very tasty, spicy without being too hot ( although I had to halve the amount of chilli powder - DH has very sensitive taste buds!). I Wasn't quite sure what to use for the salsa ingredient so ended up using a 375g jar of Doritos Mild Salsa Dip. But it turned out fine, with every last scrap eaten.

Just polished off a batch of this for lunch...Delicious and SO easy! I didn't really measure the ingredients, just eye-balled it. I used a garden fresh yellow heirloom tomato and a cheddar-jack mixture for the cheese. This is excellent with tortilla chips and ice cold beer! Thanks for posting this Kaarin...this one's going to the cabin with us

This was a fantastic dip. Loved the way the partly mashed beans added to the texture. I made it with Amy's medium organic salsa and served with baked blue corn chips. Really tasty. (I though I had some cilantro left over but didn't, so I left it out.) Cutting down on the oil a bit and using low-fat cheese probably does not affect the taste a bit. Two of us had this as a light dinner with a vegetable side. Great recipe, will be making this again!

This was great! I sauted some chopped white onion with the garlic and then proceeded as instructed.. Used a smaller amount of dry chipolte pepper rather than the standard chili pepper.. and used the Mexican shredded quesidilla cheese as I can get that here.. Yum and different than the rest...Make sure you use fresh cilantro- makes all the difference. 'nora

OMG I love this dip. The flavor is very intense. I used habanaro slasa for a little extra kick. Thanks so much for sharing.

Very good dip. I gave it 4 stars only because I thought the flavor of the cilantro was too strong and sort of overpowered the other flavors. I will cut back on that the next time I make it...and there will be a next time!
