Tex-Mex Black Bean Dip

ANNE STEIRER, 2142438123

30 oz canned black beans, drained
1 tsp oil
1/2 cup onions, chopped
2 garlic cloves, crushed
1/2 cup tomatoes, diced
1/3 cup picante sauce, mild
1/2 tsp cumin, ground
1/2 tsp chili powder
1 oz monterey jack, shredded
1/4 cup cilantro, fresh
1 tbsp lime juice


Dip and chips -- yum! This is a bit thicker than a dip. Easy to make
in quantity for a big party or to pack in small glass containers for
gifts. Must be refrigerated.

Place beans in bowl and partially mash until chunky. Set aside.

Heat oil in medium nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add onion and
garlic; saute 4 minutes or until tender. Add beans, tomato, and next
3 ingredients; cook 5 minutes, or until thickened, stirring
constantly. Remove from heat; add cheese and remaining ingredients,
stirring until cheese melts. Serve warm or at room temperature, with
fat-free corn or flour tortilla chips or cut-up veggies.

Makes about 2-1/2 cups. Recipe may be multiplied.

When made with reduced-fat cheese: 1 tb = 21 cal, 1.3 gm fat.

Presented by Anne Steirer at a "Healthy Holiday Gifts" seminar on
Oct. 24, 1995.

Sylvia's comments: she served this on Baked Tostitos and it was quite
good, not dry-tasting.

Weight loss hints and tips

If you enjoy your food, but need to regain your youthful figure and also better your all round healthiness, then, as most people know, you ought to undertake a specially prepared well-balanced daily routine. At best, this should include five standard portions of grains, fruit and vegetables each day and incorporate a sensible combination of carbohydrate, fat, and protein.

When planning a diet, the important thing is to make efforts to moderate your intake of fats, refined carbohydrate and salt.

When buying food, dieters ordinarily direct your attention to supermarket and big brand food products labelled as 'low in fat'. To do this is often wrong, for a food product may be low in fats, but nevertheless contain far too much carbs & calories.

Learn to recognise the difference between hunger and thirst. Every now and then when going through a busy afternoon, you consider you are peckish but if truth be told you may simply need a healthy tumbler of water or cranberry juice. The sensations of being thirsty and being hungry are quite similar, but one leads to weight gain and the alternative is healthy.

As an alternative to paying too much attention to the junk foods you really should ban from your diet, focus on the sensible foods that you can introduce to your weight loss program. If you insert the recommended amount wholesome fruit & vegetables into your meal plan, you will find that you feel more full and have a far reduced likelihood of giving in to those unwholesome midday nibbles.
