Spicy Black Bean Dip

Tonight I was pretty hungry but just about out of SmartPoints as I had eaten a croissant earlier in the day which took a lot of points.  I  had already had several pieces of fruit along with some Honey and Poppy Seed Fruit Salad so I wanted something a bit savory and spicy.  I thought of making some spicy hummus but was all out of tahini sesame paste and didn’t feel like a late night trip to the market.  I rummaged around in the refrigerator and pantry and came up with this dip.  It’s definitely on the spicy side so if you prefer something a little more mild, cut the jalapeno in half and use about half of the chili powder.  Conversely, if you like it really hot, add in the seeds from the jalapeno, that will really spice things up!
