Mexican bean dip

For awhile I worked in a mexican restaurant and we had this recipe that I have used ever since its the best Ive tried I add a bit more heat to my salsa so use more chilli
They became a favorite with me during the decade I spent living in the bush we would get flooded in and not have much left in the cupboard we always had legumes
I have a lot of recipes from that era that will come to mind over time

The Quacamole is the best I have had and I have tried a few adjust the flavour try this and you will never buy that supermarket rubbish again.

Bean Dip
Tin of barlotti or Kidney beans
you can soak some overnight and cook your own if you want
