Hot Bean Dip

Ingredients

• 2 cups cooked pinto beans, mashed
• 1 teaspoon margarine or oil
• 3 jalapenos, diced
• 1/2 onion, minced
• 1 clove garlic, minced
• 1/4 cup grated cheddar or monterey jack cheese

Directions

From the poster: "Apertivo de Frijoles Calientes....true hot bean dip, much better than the stuff Frito Lay puts in the can, and cheaper too!"

1. Mash the beans to a'dip' consistency, adding a little bean broth if necessary.
2. Saute the jalepenos, onion and garlic in the margarine until the garlic and onion are translucent and the jalepenos have golden or brown edges.
3. Mix the beans, jalepenos, onions, and garlic.
4. Heat; sprinkle with cheese.
5. Serve.
6. Great with nacho chips or fritos.

Makes 2 cups
