Instructions:

Loaded Black Bean Dip
Prep the beans: Make sure your black beans are thoroughly rinsed and drained. This helps to remove excess sodium and makes for a cleaner-tasting dip.
Combine ingredients: In a food processor, combine the rinsed black beans, softened cream cheese, sour cream, chopped jalapeño, garlic, cumin, chili powder, and lime juice. Process until mostly smooth. A few small chunks are fine and add to the texture!
Add the cheese: Transfer the black bean mixture to a pre-greased cast iron skillet or baking dish. Top with shredded pepper jack, and shredded cheddar.
Bake: Bake in a preheated oven at 375°F (190°C) for 20-25 minutes, or until the dip is bubbly and the cheese on top is melted and slightly golden.
Garnish and serve: While the dip is baking, prepare your garnishes. Once the dip is out of the oven, sprinkle generously with the quartered NatureSweet® tomatoes, sliced jalapeño, diced red onion, extra crumbled queso fresco, and fresh cilantro. Serve warm with your favorite tortilla chips!
