A delightful and creamy bean dip perfect for gatherings or a cozy snack night.
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
Preheating ensures even cooking and optimal texture.
In a mixing bowl, combine the sour cream, cream cheese, and taco seasoning using an electric mixer until smooth.
Ensure the cream cheese is softened for easier mixing.
Stir in the black beans until evenly distributed.
Mash some of the beans for a creamier texture.
Spread the mixture evenly into a baking dish.
Use a spatula to smooth the top for even baking.
Sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese evenly over the top.
For a golden crust, use a mix of cheddar and Monterey Jack cheese.
Bake in the preheated oven for about 25 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
Place the dish on the middle rack for even heat distribution.
Serve warm with tortilla chips or your choice of dippers.
Garnish with chopped cilantro or green onions for added freshness.
