Tex-Mex Black Bean Dip

I made this Sunday night and tried it before it was spiced up. It was good (though not at ALL spicy), and I was glad I made it the night before because I think it's one of those dips that gets better when it sits overnight and all the flavors have time to meld together.

However, shortly thereafter I discovered that I can't eat this dip because it makes my stomach blow up like a balloon and become extremely uncomfortable. (I'd guess it's the onions...I have issues with onions sometimes :( )

So yeah, from there on out, I had to depend on my husband to let me know if it was edible. He said it needed Tabasco, so I gave it a few shakes (maybe a couple teaspoons worth?) The verdict from the family seemed to be that it was really good, but not all that spicy.

So if you want it spicy, either add more tabasco or some minced or dried hot peppers of some variety. Considering my two-year-old ate several helpings, I'd say two tablespoons of the hot sauce didn't do a whole lot. ;)

In short? Delicious, easy, great to take to a picnic/party and lends itself to being customized to suit various tastes.
