I LOVE Eating! 4 Days of Healthy, Gluten-Free Snacks- Day 3

Back to the Good Stuff! 

After an over 2 week hiatus from sharing the goods on GF snacks, their Ba-ack!  Now that I've learned a lesson concerning thankfulness, let's talk about what I am really thankful for, F-O-O-D!!!!!

Shout out to Yummy Healthy Easy for this next recipe.  It is a wonderful GF snack, and it was my lunch for a week about a month ago.  When paired with ItWorks! Greens, this lunch hits all the major food groups and does not cause an afternoon slump after over-eating at lunch.  In fact, just writing about it makes me want to make the dip again! So here it is- 

Healthy Black Bean Dip 

Ingredients

• 1 (15-oz) can black beans, drained and rinsed
• 1 cup plain greek yogurt (my adjustment)
• ½ - ¾ tsp. salt
• ¼ tsp. pepper
• 1 jalapeno, seeded and chopped
• 1 (14.5-oz) can petite diced tomatoes, drained
• 1 cup Mexican cheese blend
• chopped tomatoes, green onions and cilantro, for serving if desire

 

Instructions

1. Preheat oven to 325 degrees F. Spray a 1.5 liter baking dish with cooking spray; set aside.
2. In a food processor, blend together the black beans, sour cream, salt, pepper and jalapeno. Blend until combined and taste. Add salt to your liking.
3. Pour black bean mixture into prepared dish. Pour in drained petite diced tomatoes and stir together. Add in ½ cup cheese and stir together. Top with remaining ½ cup of cheese. Cover with foil and bake for 10 minutes.
4. Pull off the foil and bake for an additional 15 more minutes, or until heated through and cheese is melted and bubbly.
5. Sprinkle with tomatoes, green onions and cilantro if desired and serve with tortilla chips or veggies!
