Print Recipe

A fun and easy Halloween appetizer featuring layers of seasoned black beans, creamy cheese, and crispy tortilla ‘bandages’ shaped like a mummy. Perfect for parties and potlucks.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 can (15 oz) black beans, drained and rinsed
  • 1/2 cup salsa
  • 1 tablespoon taco seasoning
  • 1/2 teaspoon cumin
  • 8 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 1/2 cup sour cream
  • 1 cup shredded Mexican blend cheese
  • 4 large flour tortillas (burrito size)
  • 2 tablespoons melted butter or olive oil
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder (optional)
  • 2 slices black olives
  • 2 small dollops sour cream (for eyes)

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a 9×5 inch loaf pan.
  2. In a medium bowl, mash the black beans with a fork until about 75% mashed. Stir in salsa, taco seasoning, and cumin until a thick paste forms.
  3. In a separate bowl, beat softened cream cheese with sour cream until smooth. Fold in half of the shredded cheese.
  4. Spread the black bean mixture evenly into the bottom of the loaf pan. Top with the cream cheese mixture and smooth it out. Sprinkle remaining shredded cheese on top.
  5. Stack tortillas and cut into 1-inch wide strips. Mix melted butter with garlic powder and brush onto both sides of each strip.
  6. Lay tortilla strips across the top of the dip, crisscrossing like bandages, leaving a small gap near the top for eyes. Tuck ends down the sides.
  7. Place loaf pan on a baking sheet and bake for 18-22 minutes, until cheese is bubbly and strips are golden brown. Tent with foil if browning too fast.
  8. Let cool for 5 minutes. Place two small dollops of sour cream near the top for eyes, then press an olive slice onto each dollop.
  9. Serve immediately with tortilla chips, crackers, or veggie sticks.

Notes

For best results, use room temperature cream cheese. Don’t over-mash the beans. Let dip rest 5 minutes after baking to set layers. If tortilla strips brown too fast, tent with foil.
