Yummy! The black bean burger and dip are on my ‘to-try’ list! Great suggestions Liz and enjoy the weekend! Hoping it doesn’t snow – we’re supposed to get hit Sunday/Monday!!! Have a great one -Iva
Great roundup. I’m such a black bean fanatic, so I”m drooling! Thanks for sharing my black bean spring rolls!

Have you tried TJs refried black beans – if not, you must! So good!

I’ve made black bean and sweet potato tacos before, so I’m sure I would love the enchiladas.
I want to try the black bean brownies, but am just a little skeptical. Your picture looks delicious though!
