1. Go to the grocery store and get 1 can of black beans (15 oz), 1 can of diced green chiles (4 oz), a buncha cilantro, some sour cream, and the piece de resistance...
Don't be scared. Also, make sure you have some chile powder and hot sauce and some garlic powder if your little heart desires. Oh, and some chips. Did you know that chips are called "totopos" in some Spanish dialects? I think that's a cute word.Anyway.
Open up the beans and dump them into a colander and rinse 'em off. Put them in a bowl and smash with a fork.
You have completed your upper body workout for the day!
Drain the chiles but don't rinse. Throw them in the bowl and add a scant (less than) half a cup each of sour cream and Miracle Whip. The original recipe calls for too much, I think, at half a cup each. I also generally put in a bit more sour cream than Whip.
Ha ha, Whip. That makes me think of this.
Chop up a decent sized handful of cilantro, including the stems. Did you know the stems have tons of cilantro-y flavor? I told my mom that and she was so happy, she had been de-stemming it and using only the leaves for her whole life, which is obviously way tedious.
Throw in the cilantro, and a few palmfuls of chile powder. Add some hot sauce to taste and a dash of garlic powder if you have it.
If you're feeling fancy, you can plonk the whole thing into a new clean bowl and garnish the top with a cilantro leaf and a sprinkle of chile powder. !Ole!
Serve dip to rave reviews and don't tell anyone that it contains the Whip. Your secret is safe with me!
