4 Ingredient Cream Cheese And Black Bean Dip [In Under 4 Minutes!]

I don’t know about you, but I have my days where I refuse to pick up more than a fork or spoon to make my meals. And let’s be real, sometimes we just want our meals to be quick! And I say that while the good ole’ fashion black bean dip you buy in the jar, with chips, clearly isn’t going to cut it, either. But really, if you’re with limited ingredients on hand, here’s an easy option for you. It’s 4 simple ingredients (and some of my favorites combined) – a cream cheese and black bean dip in under 4 minutes!

For as long as I can remember (well, since my 7-7 job 10 years ago), I would experiment making dips during my lunch hour. A PB&J or lunch meat sandwich – forget it – I needed more options. Let me tell you – I went a bit crazy, too. From leftover beef taco dips, to sweet and spicy tuna dips – I made them all!

Now, the result may not look appetizing, to say the least, but I swear by the flavor. I add half an onion and artichoke for extra texture and flavor, but ultimately, if you wanted to only use salsa and cream cheese – you’re already at a great start to a tasty, unique dip! It’s the perfect quick party dip (when you’re scavenging through your pantry), side item to taco Tuesdays or a unique lunch option.

Ingredients

(This recipe contains the ingredients for 1 serving): 1/4 block of cream cheese 1 cup black bean salsa [Specialty brand shown from Aldi] 3-4 chopped and quartered artichokes (optional) 1/2 small yellow onion (chopped)

Instructions

1. Begin by chopping your onion and quartered artichokes. The artichokes I get are also from Aldi - they come already quartered in a jar (which is nice for easy means such as salads and dips).  You can either chop by hand or use a processor to speed up the time (I use a processor for when I'm making more than 1 serving).
2. Place in a bowl with 1/4 block of cream cheese. Microwave for 1 minute (place a paper towel over the bowl, otherwise you're in for a mess) and stir.
3. Add in 1 cup of Specialty black bean salsa (or any black bean salsa of your choice), stir and place back in the microwave for an additional minute and a half.
4. Stir until ingredients are melted and blended thoroughly, serve with pita chips or tortilla chips and enjoy a party dip or quick lunch in under 4 minutes!
