Dips and Spreads Recipe ∶ Avocado and Black Bean Dip

I created and devoured this guac-bean dip in college because it's very cheap, filling, and healthy. When I am low on fiber, this is the perfect snack or meal. Serve with pita or tortilla chips.

Ingredients

• 1 avocado - peeled, pitted, and mashed
• ½ (15 ounce) can black beans, drained and rinsed
• 1 tablespoon lime juice
• 1 clove garlic, minced, or more to taste
• ⅓ cup shredded Cheddar cheese
• 1 pinch sea salt to taste

Cooking Directions

1. Mix avocado, black beans, lime juice, and garlic together in a microwave-safe bowl. Sprinkle with Cheddar cheese.
2. Microwave dip on high until cheese is melted, about 1 minute. Season with sea salt if desired.
