Ingredients

4 ounces cream cheese regular or ⅓-less fat cream cheese, softened at room temperature
½ cup sour cream regular or light
½ teaspoon salt
½ teaspoon garlic powder
½ teaspoon cumin
Freshly ground black pepper to taste
¼ cup jarred salsa your favorite variety (I used red)
16 ounce can refried beans
15 ounce can black beans drain but don't rinse
1 cup shredded cheddar cheese divided
1 cup shredded pepper jack cheese divided
¼ cup thinly sliced green onion for garnish
Tortilla chips and/or corn chips for serving

Instructions

Preheat oven to 375 degrees F. Coat a 9-inch baking dish with nonstick cooking spray.
In a large mixing bowl, use a wooden spoon to combine the cream cheese, sour cream, salt, garlic powder, cumin, pepper, and salsa until creamy. Next, mix in the refried beans. Then, add the black beans and half the shredded cheddar and pepper Jack cheese and mix again until well incorporated.
Transfer the bean mixture to the prepared baking dish and top with the remaining shredded cheese.
Bake for 20 to 25 minutes or until the cheese has melted and it is hot and bubbly around the edges.
Remove from the oven and garnish with chopped green onion. Allow to sit for about 5 minutes. Serve with tortilla or corn chips.
