Garlic-Lime Black Bean and Avocado Spread

Enjoy this spread as a dip with veggie strips and baked chips. Stir in extra veggies to make it a more robust meal: good candidates include jalapenos, corn, and black beans. Layer it in a wrap with grilled chicken, lettuce, and tomatoes for an easy lunch. If you like a little heat, serve it with a splash of hot sauce.

Directions

  1. Place beans, carrots, avocado, garlic, and lime juice in a food processor and pulse until smooth.
  2. Combine the pureed mixture and remaining ingredients in a medium bowl stirring until well blended. Let sit for 30 minutes to let flavors meld.
