Ingredients

2 cans - black beans
½ cup - cottage cheese
½ cup - sour cream
3 cloves - garlic
½ tsp - cumin
½ tsp - chili powder
1 tbsp - lime juice
1 cup - pepper jack cheese
½ cup - cheddar cheese
½ cup - tomatoes
1 - jalapeño
¼ cup - red onion
2 tablespoons - cilantro
2 tablespoons - cotija cheese
Tortilla chips

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Lightly grease an oven safe skillet with cooking spray. I used a 10inch cast iron skillet. Set aside 1/2 cup of rinsed and drained black beans.
In a food processor or blender, combine the black beans (minus that 1/2 cup that we put aside*), cottage cheese, sour cream, garlic, cumin, chili powder, and lime juice. Blend until creamy and very few lumps of the black beans remain. Fold in the remaining black beans.
Pour the black beans mixture into the prepared skillet and top evenly with the pepper jack and cheddar cheese. Bake in the oven for 15-20 minutes or until the cheese is fully melted. As desired, you can turn the broiled on during the last couple of minutes but be sure to watch it closely!
Once out of the oven, top with desired toppings and ENJOY with tortilla chips!
*I really like having some whole black beans in my dip BUT you could skip this step and simply add them ALL into the food processor.
