Tastier than bland canned refried beans, this easy refried black bean dip offers all the flavors you’d expect from your favorite from scratch Mexican meal—chiles, garlic, tomatoes and tortillas.
And each serving is much lower in saturated fat than more traditional refried beans because this recipe uses olive oil instead of lard.
With just 6 ¼-cup servings, this refried bean dip is perfect for small families, but it can easily be doubled or tripled if you are feeding a larger crowd. And it makes a great game day, picnic or potluck dish too because you can make it ahead and just rewarm it before serving!

Recipe Notes
Make this ahead and store in the refrigerator. Before serving, zap in the microwave (affiliate link) or reheat in a small skillet.
While most corn chips are naturally gluten-free, if you have a gluten-sensitivity be sure to use tortilla chips that are marked free from gluten.
Serving Suggestions
Enjoy this dip with your favorite baked tortilla chips or vegetables for dipping. Carrot, celery or jicama sticks and bell pepper slices would all work well for dipping.
Serve this bean dip as a simple side with chicken fajitas, steak fajitas or as topping for plain grilled (or baked) chicken tenders.
It also makes a great filling for your own homemade burritos or tostadas.
Make a simple huevos rancheros by lightly heating a crispy corn tortilla, spreading on some warm refried black bean dip and topping with a fried (or scrambled) egg. Serve with additional salsa, guacamole or avocado slices.
