This is the best bean dip I have ever had!!!! This one is all flavor!!!!!! The saute of the onions with the garlic and adobo peppers gives it such a smokey, wonderful flavor!!!!! I halved this recipe because I was making it for a two person lunch/snack. I couldn't find refried black beans, even in Arizona, go figure!!! So I used regular refried pinto beans and just added black beans to it for texture. I drained the rotel before adding it and I pretty much added the whole can of that. I like spicy so I added an extra 1/2 tsp of adobo sauce too. This recipe is definitely a keeper, wonderful job Ninja!!!!

I'm a transplant from Alabama now living in a St. Louis, MO suburb. After many years as a senior consultant, I had to have major surgery with a long recovery period, which is when I found your site. What a thrill!!
I spent many years collecting cook books before losing them all (including my Mom's recipes) in a house fire. I still collect books when I can, but more often I frequent 'Zaar and get the best recipes!
I rate the recipes I really love, which is why most of my ratings are high. So far I haven't encountered a recipe I didn't like where I didn't change something in the original, and I don't think it fair to give a low rating under those circumstances.
