Floridanative Black Bean Dip

---

This is a my variation of a southwestern dip recipe found in southern living's ultimate book of appetizers. Note: if you can't find the 'rotel with lime juice and cilantro', substitute 1/2 to 1 cup mild salsa, 2 tablespoons fresh cilantro (2 teaspoons dried) and 2 tablespoons fresh lime juice. prep time = cook time

---

Steps

---

Process beans , half of the rotel tomatoes , and all other ingredients in a food processor until smooth , stopping once to scrape down sides.

---

If too thick , additional rotel may be used.

---

Serve with tortilla chips -- blue corn or red corn tortilla chips look and taste nice with this.
