Instructions: Use any kind of bean for this recipe (black beans dont do as well, however): white, navy, pea, pinto, garbanzo, kidney. If you dont want to deal with dry beans, use 2 cups of drained canned beans.

Puree all ingredients except scallions and cilantro in a food processor or a blender, using more or less water to achieve your desired texture. Work the green herbs in by hand; if you use the machine, the dip will be green. Transfer to a bowl and garnish with additional cilantro sprigs.

Serve with tortilla chips. Make your own low-fat chips by brushing whole corn tortillas lightly with oil, cutting tortillas into wedges, then baking in a 350 degree oven till brown and crisp, 10 to 15 minutes, turning once.
