Ingredients

2 cloves garlic
2 teaspoons kosher salt
1(15-ounce) can black beans, drained and rinsed
1 (15-ounce) can pinto beans, drained and rinsed
2 teaspoons chili powder
2 tablespoons water
1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
2 cups lowfat shredded Cheddar
2 ripe avocados, preferably Hass
1 jalapeno, stemmed, finely chopped, (with seeds for more heat)
2 cups chopped romaine lettuce
1 1/2 cups nonfat yogurt, preferably Greek
1/2 cup fresh cilantro, leaves and some stems, roughly chopped, plus more for garnish
3 ripe medium tomatoes, diced
5 scallions (white and green), thinly sliced
Baked tortilla chips, for dipping

Directions

On a cutting board, smash the garlic cloves, sprinkle with 1 teaspoon of the salt, and, with the flat side of a large knife, mash and smear the mixture to a coarse paste. Put the garlic, beans, chili powder, water, and olive oil in the bowl of a food processor and blend until smooth. Spread in the bottom of a 2 quart casserole or gratin dish, or in individual sized dishes, as desired.

Scatter the cheese over the beans. Halve and seed the avocados, then mash with the jalapeno and another teaspoon of salt in a small bowl. Spread a layer of the avocado over the cheese, and then scatter the lettuce on top.

Mix the yogurt with the cilantro and then spread over the lettuce. Add a layer of tomatoes and finally scatter the scallions on top. Chill until ready to serve. Garnish with a few cilantro sprigs and serve with baked chips.

Very delicious and refreshing...
Rated: 4 stars out of 5

I rated it a 4 instead of a 5 because the amount of work I had to put in to making this dish. It took me almost 1 1/2... hours... But in the end it came out really good. EXCEPT the avocado section... Please make sure to wait until the avocados are rippened before trying to cut them up... It was a nightmare! It was so bitter and gritty....I tried mashing it with the chili pepper and that wasn't working...so I put it in the food processor and it turned into grits. It was horrible so I left that section out of it. So instead of a 6 layer dip...it was a 5 layer dip. The bean mixture and yogurt mixture was delicious...with all of it combined it was a very successful appetizer at our Super Bowl party. Everyone thought it was very refreshing and light.... Read more

Awesome Dip!!
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

OK, for those of you that keep posting bad "ratings" because you think that there is WAY too much salt in the CANNED beans. ... Did you NOT read that you are to DRAIN and RINSE the canned beans?? I rinse mine until they are no longer "foamy" and they run clear of any color! Believe me, I am on an almost NO salt diet, because I have Meneire's Syndrome! If I have too much salt.....I am ONE DIZZY, SICK dame! This recipe is wonderful. I made it to MY specifications......BUT, used this recipe as a base! No one noticed the salt that was omitted......OR the calories! I don't review a recipe poorly because I HAVE a certain medical issue.....I will try the recipe, as written, but I KNOW my limits, so I adjust!! Love it, will make it many more times!! Thanks!Read more

Sodium on the high side?
Rated: 1 stars out of 5

Wonder what the nutritionals are on this recipe. Suspect the sodium is pretty high. It would really help if the... Nutritrional Facts accompanied all recipes. One star means AWFUL for your health. It probably tastes a little too good. Read more
