1 medium tomato, diced
1 clove garlic, minced, or 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon cumin
1 teaspoon chili powder
1 Tablespoon apple cider vinegar
Directions
- Wash hands with soap and water.
- For a smooth dip, place ingredients in a food processor or blender and process until smooth OR for a chunky dip, mash beans well with a fork or potato masher, stir in remaining ingredients. Add additional liquid for desired consistency.

- Try adding cilantro on top for more flavor.
Comments
I've made this a few times with elementary cooking classes. The kids seem to love it most when I've made the following changes:
reduced or excluded the onion, switched from apple cider vinegar to lime juice and increased the amount to 1/4 cup for whole recipe. This big increase in lime juice happened by accident but resulted in the largest approval of the recipe. :)
Made this recipe with only half of an onion, and everyone still said it was too much! Will try just 1/4 onion next time and double the seasonings.
