How to Make 5 Minute Low Fat Bean Dip

1. Drain and rinse one (15-ounce) can of your favorite beans (kidney, black, or pinto work well).
2. Combine the drained beans, 1/4 cup salsa, 2 tablespoons lime juice, 1 tablespoon olive oil, 1/2 teaspoon cumin, and 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder in a blender.
3. Blend until completely smooth and creamy. Add a splash of water (1-2 tablespoons) if needed to reach desired consistency.
4. Pour the mixture into a microwave-safe bowl.
5. Microwave on high for 2-3 minutes, stirring halfway through, until heated through.
6. Top with 1/4 cup shredded cheddar cheese (or your preferred cheese) while the dip is still hot. The heat will help melt the cheese.
7. Let the dip stand for 2-3 minutes to allow the cheese to melt completely and the dip to slightly cool before serving. Serve immediately with baked tortilla chips.
