Ingredients
1 tablespoon finely chopped garlic
2 tablespoon vegetable oil

teaspoon ground cumin
teaspoon cayenne pepper
1 cup (15-ounce can) black beans, rinsed and drained
2 cup (6-ounces) pre-shredded Real California Mozarella or Real California Monterey Jack

1. In a medium skillet, heat oil over medium heat. Add onion, garlic and jalapeno peppers; saute until onions are soft, about 5 minutes.
2. Add the beans and smash with the back of a ladle or large spoon until softened and heated through, another 2-3 minutes.
3. Remove from heat and stir in pre-shredded Real California Mozzarella or Monterey Jack, sour cream, cumin and cayenne pepper, stirring until cheese is melted. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
4. Transfer to a serving dish and sprinkle Real California Cotija cheese on top. Serve warm or at room temperature with chips and vegetables.
Note:
Leftover dip can be refrigerated and reheated in the microwave.
