Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups (cooked or canned, drained and rinsed) black beans
- 1 medium (seeded for less heat, optional) jalapeño pepper
- 0.5 medium (roughly chopped) red onion
- 2 whole (minced) garlic cloves
- 2 tablespoons lime juice
- 0.5 teaspoons ground cumin
- 0.5 teaspoons smoked paprika
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons water
- 0.5 teaspoons (adjust to taste) salt
- 0.25 cups (loosely packed, optional for garnish) fresh cilantro
Instructions
In a food processor or blender, add the black beans, jalapeño pepper, red onion, minced garlic, lime juice, ground cumin, smoked paprika, olive oil, and water.
Blend the mixture until smooth, scraping down the sides as needed. If the dip feels too thick, add 1 additional tablespoon of water at a time until you reach your desired consistency.
Taste the dip and adjust seasonings as necessary, adding more salt, lime juice, or spices to your liking.
Transfer the dip to a serving bowl and garnish with fresh cilantro (optional).
Serve immediately with tortilla chips, sliced vegetables, or warm pita bread. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
