Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 15 oz black beans
- 8 oz cream cheese
- 0.5 cup sour cream
- 1 tablespoon lime juice
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- 0.5 teaspoon chili powder
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons fresh cilantro
- 0.5 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 1 optional jalapeño pepper
Instructions
Drain and rinse the black beans thoroughly under cold water.
In a food processor, combine the black beans, cream cheese, sour cream, and lime juice. Blend until smooth and creamy.
Add the garlic powder, ground cumin, chili powder, salt, and black pepper to the food processor. Blend again to incorporate the spices.
Chop the fresh cilantro and stir half of it into the dip mixture. Reserve the remaining cilantro for garnish.
If you enjoy a spicy kick, finely dice the jalapeño pepper (removing the seeds for less heat) and stir it into the dip.
Transfer the dip to a serving bowl. Sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese and the remaining chopped cilantro over the top.
Serve immediately with tortilla chips, crackers, or veggie sticks. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
