This High Protein Black Bean Dip is the ultimate healthy party snack that even picky eaters will love! It’s creamy, cheesy, and full of bold, zesty flavor—thanks to lime, cumin, and chili powder.

Tips & Suggestions
- For a spicier dip, add a dash of cayenne pepper or a few tablespoons of diced jalapeño.
