Ultimate Black Beans Dip | Not from Can!

Beans, beans, beans…and how many ways to enjoy them! Packed with proteins and good stuff, and used in so many cuisines around the world, they are flavorful and very versatile.

Black beans are a favorite in our house and I have at times made them in place of Rajma (Kidney beans) and they turn out just amazing. In this recipe, the Black Beans have a Mexican flavor but feel free to change up the Taco Seasoning with Garam Masala and you will be surprised how well it adapts. Here are some of the wonderful ways to use these versatile Black Beans.

1. As a Dip: Sprinkle some Cheese over the hot Black Beans and serve with Tortilla Chips.
2. In Soft or Crispy Tacos: Layer with protein, lettuce, tomatoes, salsa, sour cream, cheese on a Taco. Recipe.
3. In a Burrito: Roll up with protein, cheese, tomatoes and some Mexican Rice.
4. Over Nachos: Layer the Chips, pour Black Beans, onions, tomatoes, cheese, and broil till the cheese melts, remove from oven and sprinkle some cilantro and packled jalapeños.
5. In Enchiladas: Roll in soft tacos with some protein, veggies and bake with some cheese or some enchilada sauce on top. Recipe.
6. As a Side: Serve as a side with some Rice and some veggies.
7. In a Bowl: Make a Rice or a Salad bowl, with Black Beans, veggies, cheese, salsa, cilantro, sour cream.
