Ingredients

• Heart Healthy 7 Layer bean Dip Recipe
• 2 cups of refried beans, canned
• 1 tbls of Hormel (in the jar) real bacon low-fat
• 1 teaspoon of chipotle powder, (or plain chili powder to taste)
• 1/4 to 1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
• salt and pepper (if needed)
• 1 cup shredded low-fat cheddar cheese
• 1/4 cup chopped green Anaheim chiles (canned) OR a Tbsp of chopped pickled jalapeños (more to taste)
• 1 avocado, peeled and chopped (a healthy fat)
• 1 tomato chopped
• 1/3 cup of low fat sour cream
• 1/2 small can of sliced ripe black olives(a healthy fat)
• ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
• Heat the refried beans in a medium sauté pan or cast iron skillet.
• Stir in enough water to get a creamy, easily dip-able consistency, about 1/4 of a cup.
• ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
• You can use olive oil instead, in place of the low-fat bacon if you choose to help the consistency of the beans.
• ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
• Mix in the chipotle chili powder (or Tabasco, or adobo, or regular chili powder) and cumin to taste.
• Note that the avocados and the sour cream will cool down the spiciness of the beans considerably, so you can afford to be a bit more spicy than you might think.
• Stir in salt to taste. (if needed)
• Once the beans are hot and bubbly, spread them over the bottom of a warmed serving dish. Immediately add the shredded cheese so that the heat from the beans helps melt the cheese. (The cheese doesn't need to be completely melted, but even if it is just a little, it will help the dip stay on the dippers.)
• ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
• Layer on the chopped green chilies, chopped avocado, chopped tomato.
• Spoon on the sour cream
• Top with sliced green onions and olives.
• Serve immediately

• Folks this does have some of the healing and healthy variety of fats.
