Our take on this classic party dip is made with lower-fat sour cream, plenty of fiber-rich beans and vegetables?and it's still just as delicious. Scoop it up with tortilla chips.

Ingredients

• 1 16-ounce can fat-free refried beans preferably spicy
• 1 15-ounce can black beans rinsed
• 4 scallions sliced
• 1/2 cup prepared salsa
• 1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
• 1/2 teaspoon chili powder
• 1/4 cup pickled jalapeno slices chopped
• 1 cup shredded Monterey Jack or Cheddar cheese
• 1/2 cup reduced-fat sour cream
• 1 1/2 cups cups chopped romaine lettuce
• 1 medium tomato chopped
• 1 medium avocado chopped
• 1/4 cup canned sliced black olives (optional)

Directions

• 1. Combine refried beans, black beans, scallions, salsa, cumin, chili powder and jalapenos in a medium bowl. Transfer to a shallow 2-quart microwave-safe dish; sprinkle with cheese.
• 2. Microwave on High until the cheese is melted and the beans are hot, 3 to 5 minutes.
• 3. Spread sour cream evenly over the hot bean mixture, then scatter with lettuce, tomato, avocado and olives (if using).
