Ingredients

For Dip:

  • 1 (29-ounce) can black beans
  • 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
  • 2 garlic cloves, minced
  • 2 teaspoons chili powder
  • 1 teaspoon cumin
  • ½ teaspoon oregano
  • 1 teaspoon salt

For Topping:

  • 1 pint grape tomatoes, halved
  • 1 avocado, chopped

  • Spread dip in a pie plate. Top with remaining cheese.
  • Bake until hot and bubbly, about 15 minutes.
