Your opinion about use of Olive Oil, do we really need to use it?"

[Probatim]

31. It's super simple...

One medium onion, roughly diced
8-10 cloves of garlic, minced
2 cans of black beans, one drained, other with liquid
1 tsp of Better than Bouillon chicken broth
1 TB of taco seasoning - I use Taco Seasoning I from All Recipes
Butter and olive oil

Sweat the onion in a 2 quart sauce pan for several minutes
Add the garlic and saute for another minute
Add the Taco Seasoning and chicken broth concentrate
Add both cans of black beans

Let them simmer then hit with an immersion blender to your desired consistency.

It's great as a dip but I also make a "Mexican pizza" with it. That's a tortilla shell, layer of bean dip, a drizzle of taco sauce, protein (beef, chicken, quinoa, roasted butternut squash, whatever), your favorite shredded cheese, and jalapenos (and green onions). Bake at 375 until you're happy with the color.

That was actually my dinner tonight.
