Hi Friends!
If you follow me on Instagram (theleangreenbean), Twitter or Facebook then you may already know what’s coming today! Another dip recipe. Last night my hubby officially declared me the “dip expert”. He says between this dip and the Spicy Feta Dip I made last month, I have mastered the dip.
So I’ve got that going for me.
Today’s dip is guacamole. But not just any guacamole. This is PUMPED UP GUAC!! It has black beans, greek yogurt and all sorts of other fun mix-ins! It’s packed with fiber, protein and healthy fats. Doesn’t get any better than that my friends!
I made this recipe last summer (almost exactly a year ago, in fact) and haven’t made it since. Last weekend, I realized I had several ripe avocados and I decided to whip up another batch!
I’ve updated the recipe a bit so it’s reposted below:
Black Bean Guacamole
Prep Time: 5 min
Keywords: food processor appetizer snack healthy low-sodium vegetarian greek yogurt black beans avocado
Ingredients
- 2 medium avocados
- 1 c black beans, cooked
- 1/3 c plain fat-free Chobani Greek yogurt
- juice from one lemon
- 1/2 c red onion, diced
- 1 medium tomato, diced
- 1 jalapeno, minced
- 2 Tbsp fresh cilantro, minced
Instructions
1. Place the black beans in a small food processor and pulse several times.
2. Add one of the avocados and the lemon juice and pulse until well mixed.
3. In a small bowl, smash the remaining avocado with a fork.
4. Stir in the greek yogurt.
5. Add the black bean mixture, along with the onion, tomato, jalapeno and cilantro.
6. Mix well and serve with tortilla chips.
So there you have it! It gets even better if you let it sit in the fridge for a couple hours before serving.
I was trying to get some nice photographs for you guys but Tucker had other plans:

I was excited for this one! Love the idea of using Greek yogurt to lighten up dips. This would be sooo good on the homemeade ancho bean burger I have for lunch. Do you deliver?

Love love love guacamole! And salsa! I just made both this weekend, in an attempt to recreate Chipotle at home (and hopefully save us a little money!
)!

I love variations of salsa! Black bean, roasted corn, fresh cilantro. Yum! All about eating fresh things in summer.

I love guac – so this will be a neat way to change it up!

That looks like perfection. I don’t think anything goes better together than black beans and guac. I actually just had a wrap with both for lunch. That in dip form can’t go wrong.
Tina @ Best Body Fitness recently posted..Why Does Protein Matter?
That looks delicious! It’s more than a dip, it’s a complete meal! I’d have been afraid that the black beans would make it look not so pretty
, but it doesn’t. That

Yes yes yes. Totally making a batch this weekend!
Lovely recipe! I have eaten about 4 avocados in a week. Oopsy. I can’t stop eating them they are too dang delicious.

Am I the only person that doesn’t like black beans? I LOVE guac, though. Can you taste the beans in this?
Heather @ What Does She Do All Day? recently posted..Baked Chicken Cheese Enchiladas
Not in my opinion. I feel like the jalapeño and cilantro are what you taste most!
Awesome! I’ll have to try it then! I could always use a little more protein and fiber in my life!
Heather @ What Does She Do All Day? recently posted..Baked Chicken Cheese Enchiladas
me too! this is the perfect solution!
I’ve never thought of ‘mixing up’ my guac, but now that I have seen this I have to give it a try! This looks so delicious (and healthy), perfect for snacking on the deck this summer!
thanks
