Ingredients:

• 1 cup left-over black beans mashed or processed until smooth (homemade preferred, but canned will work)

• 1/4-1/3 cup homemade salsa (or store-bought)

• 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese (or cheese of your choice)

Preparation:
Preheat your oven to 375 F.

In an ovenproof dish, add the black beans, top with salsa, and top-off with the cheese.

Bake for 15-20 minutes until the cheese is melted and bubbly, but not brown. Alternatively, you can microwave it for 4-5 minutes or until the cheese melts.

Serve hot with tortilla chips.
