This was a lovely find! It really isn't that pretty so I processed the carrots along with the beans. Added 1/2 cup red enchilada sauce and juiced only one lime. Ended up with a southwestern hummus that quickly disappeared!

Great flavor! I used half lime juice and half lemon joice as I didnt have enough limes. I didn't add any salt because I just used corn tortilla chips which provided enough salt when paired with the dip. Delicious! Not eye appealing so I garnished with a little bit of green onion on top and a chopped tomato. Thanks!

This was a nice dip for our appetizer night. It was easy to make ahead and chilling only helped the flavors meld. The carrots & cilantro add visual appeal. I think one could easily add diced red peppers or corn too if desired. I served this with Recipe #263512. Made for ZWT4.

Whipped up a 1/2 batch of this in the morning and took it to the beach with us. Brought along a bag of nachos. Lovely dip! Great snack for all of us. Everything blended together beautifully.
