Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 15 ounces (1 can, drained and rinsed) Black beans
- 2 large Garlic cloves
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 2 tablespoons Fresh lime juice
- 1 teaspoon Ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 2 tablespoons (finely chopped, optional) Fresh cilantro
- 2 tablespoons (as needed) Water
Instructions
1. In a small skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat. Add the garlic cloves and sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant and lightly golden, being careful not to burn them.
2. In a food processor or blender, combine the black beans, sautéed garlic, the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil, lime juice, ground cumin, paprika, salt, and 1 tablespoon of water.
3. Blend the mixture until smooth, scraping down the sides occasionally. If the mixture is too thick, add another tablespoon of water to reach the desired consistency.
4. Taste the dip and adjust seasoning as needed, adding more salt or lime juice to suit your preference.
5. Transfer the dip to a serving bowl. Optionally, garnish with finely chopped fresh cilantro for a burst of freshness.
6. Serve immediately with tortilla chips, raw vegetables, or as a spread for sandwiches. Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
