A quick and fun Halloween dinner that looks like a mummy, made with black beans, cream cheese, taco seasoning, and sour cream bandages. Ready in under 15 minutes, it’s a crowd-pleaser for kids and adults alike.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 can (15 oz) black beans, drained and rinsed
  • 2 tablespoons taco seasoning
  • 4 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 1/2 cup sour cream
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1/2 cup salsa
  • 2–3 green onions, sliced thin
  • 1/4 cup black olives, sliced
  • Tortilla chips for serving

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Drain and rinse the black beans.
  2. Blend half the black beans: Put about 3/4 cup of the drained black beans into a food processor or blender. Add 2 tablespoons of salsa and pulse until smooth.
  3. Mix the dip base: In a medium mixing bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, the blended black bean mixture, the remaining whole black beans, 1/2 cup of shredded cheddar cheese, and 2 tablespoons of taco seasoning. Stir until well combined.
  4. Spread the dip in an 8×8 inch baking dish. Smooth the top with a spatula.
  5. Bake for 10-12 minutes, until hot and bubbly around the edges.
  6. While the dip bakes, put the 1/2 cup of sour cream into a small zip-top bag. Snip off a tiny corner.
  7. Once the dip is out of the oven, let it cool for 2 minutes. Pipe the sour cream in horizontal lines across the dip, leaving a gap in the middle for the eyes. Place two black olive slices in the gap for the eyes. Add a tiny dot of sour cream in the center of each olive for a spooky pupil effect.
  8. Sprinkle the remaining 1/2 cup of shredded cheddar cheese around the edges of the dip and top with sliced green onions.
  9. Serve immediately with tortilla chips.

Notes

Don’t skip draining the beans to avoid watery dip. Soften cream cheese for easy mixing. Use thin, uneven sour cream lines for a more authentic mummy look. The dip can be prepared ahead and refrigerated for up to 24 hours before baking. Add sour cream bandages after baking.
