1

Cut each tortilla into 8 wedges and place in a resealable plastic bag. Spray tortillas with cooking spray and sprinkle with chili powder; seal and shake bag to coat tortilla wedges. Place on large baking sheet and bake in preheated 200°C (400°F) oven for about 8 minutes or until golden and crisp. Let cool completely before using.

2

In a food processor bowl, puree beans, salsa, lime rind and juice, shallot, cumin, and pepper until smooth. Scrape into bowl and stir in cilantro and basil, if using.

3

Serve with tortilla chips.

Serving Suggestion

No time to make the chips? Serve with your family’s favourite veggies or whole grain crackers for dipping.

Plan it out
