Directions
- In small bowl with sealing lid, combine all ingredients except cream cheese, egg & green onion. Cover & refrigerate at least 2 hours.
- Before serving, on medium (8-10 inch) platter (I use a round one) spread cream cheese out into large round circle.
- Carefully spread marinated bean mixture over cream cheese, also in a circle, but leaving about 1/2 inch ring of cream cheese showing around the outer edge.
- Arrange chopped egg on top of bean mixture in a ring around the outer 2/3 of the beans, this time leave a circle of area in the center uncovered.
- Sprinkle green onion in center of the egg ring.
- Serve with tortilla chips or strips.
