Healthy Kids Snack Recipe: Black Bean Dip

2 cans (15-ounces each) black beans
1 cup sour cream, or ½ cup sour cream + ½ cup whole milk yogurt
1 cup chopped tomatoes (seeds and juices removed), or ready-made salsa
1 tablespoon jalapeno peppers or ¼ cup canned fire roasted green chiles (about 4 ounces), diced
½ cup scallions, roughly chopped
1 cup guacamole or about 2-3 firm avocados, diced
1 ½ cup shredded cheddar cheese
Fresh cilantro, roughly chopped
4 lime wedges or 1/4 cup fresh lime juice

Directions

Drain the beans of all liquids using a colander or sieve.  Pour the drained beans into the bottom of a square cake pan and spread the beans evenly across the bottom.
Next, layer the sour cream or the yogurt-sour cream mixture on top of the beans. Do the same with the chopped tomatoes or salsa.
Add the jalapenos and/or green chiles on top of the salsa then add the scallions.
Top with an even layer of guacamole or diced avocados then add a layer of cheddar cheese on top.  Place lime wedges on the side for those who would like to squeeze on top of the dip before eating, or squeeze fresh lime juice over the entire top layer of the dip just before serving.
Scoop up with freshly baked homemade tortilla chips and a side of hot sauce, if desired.
