Description
A simple, savory dip decorated to look like a spiderweb for a Halloween gathering.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 (15 ounce) can black beans, rinsed and drained
- 1/2 cup salsa
- 1/4 cup sour cream, plus extra for topping
- 1 teaspoon chili powder
- 1/4 teaspoon cumin
- 1/4 cup shredded Monterey Jack cheese
- 1 black olive, sliced into rings for the spider body
- 8 thin strips of black olive for the spider legs
- Tortilla chips for serving
Instructions
- Combine the black beans, salsa, 1/4 cup sour cream, chili powder, and cumin in a food processor. Pulse until mostly smooth but still slightly chunky.
- Spread the bean mixture evenly into a shallow serving dish.
- Sprinkle the shredded cheese over the bean layer.
- Place a small dollop of extra sour cream in the center of the dip.
- Using a toothpick or the tip of a small knife, gently pull the sour cream outward from the center in a circular pattern to create the web effect.
- Place the black olive ring in the center of the web for the spider body.
- Arrange the thin black olive strips around the body to form the legs.
- Serve immediately with tortilla chips.
Notes
- You can substitute refried beans for the whole black beans for a smoother texture.
- For a spicier dip, add a dash of hot sauce to the bean mixture.
