Very tasty bean dip made to go with our grilled skirt steak. The only changes I made were the pinto beans and I added quite a bit more of the seasoning. Served this dip alongside some guacamole and tortilla chips.

I used The Ultimate Salsa Fresca for the salsa added twice the amount of seasoning mix and opted for the pinto beans. A nice healthy snack! Gracias made for ZWT#8

DH's new favorite!! He is loving this dip however I did add much more of the seasoning blend after we tasted the final product the first time. I have also substitued red onion for the green onion when I was out and it worked just as well. Thanks again for a keeper!!
