How to Make It
Step 1
Preheat oven to 400°.

Mash with a potato masher. Reduce heat, and simmer 10 minutes or until thickened, stirring occasionally.
Step 4
Spoon bean mixture into a 3-cup gratin dish coated with cooking spray. Top with cheeses. Bake at 400° for 12 minutes or until hot and bubbly.
Step 5

Great dip! You can do so much with the presentation by using different colors of cheese, fresh diced tomatoes, cilantro, green onions, etc. The only change I would make is to add a bit more salt to the bean mixture. Otherwise, I'll be making this appetizer for many get togethers!

An excellent dip, made to recipe except subbed Mexican-blend for the queso fresco and used fresh oregano. The light coating of tomato/chipotle sauce added just enough heat to make it interesting. Served with CL's Goat Cheese Stuffed Jalapenos and CL's Yucatan Shrimp Cocktail.
