Black Bean Dip

I can't find a photo of the finished product...I guess we ate it too fast? LOL! Actually, I made this the night Bill & Tracee came over (a few weeks ago), so I was also in the middle of dinner, and apparently, I FORGOT!

Black Bean Dip

1 can (15 oz.) black beans
1/2 c. quinoa, cooked
2 T. onion, minced
1 pkt. (1.23 oz.) chili seasoning
1/2 t. salt
1 clove garlic, chopped/pressed
2 dashes tobasco
1 t. lemon juice

Blend all ingredients in food processor until smooth. Serve with tortilla chips or crackers.

Option: stir in cooked quinoa by hand as the last step, to leave grains (kernels?) whole for better presentation.
