Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 15 oz black beans (canned, drained and rinsed)
- 2 tbsp lime juice (freshly squeezed)
- 1 cup cilantro (fresh, chopped)
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 2 cloves garlic (minced)
- 1 tsp ground cumin
- 0.5 tsp paprika (optional, for a smoky flavor)
- 0.5 tsp salt
- 0.25 tsp black pepper
- 2 tbsp water
Instructions
In a food processor or blender, combine the black beans, lime juice, olive oil, garlic, ground cumin, paprika (if using), salt, and black pepper.
Pulse a few times to start breaking down the beans, then add the water to help the mixture blend smoothly.
Blend until smooth, scraping down the sides of the bowl as needed to ensure an even consistency.
Add the fresh chopped cilantro and pulse a few more times until the cilantro is well incorporated but still visible in small pieces.
Adjust the seasoning to taste, adding more lime juice, salt, or spices if desired.
Transfer the spread to a serving bowl and garnish with extra chopped cilantro and a drizzle of olive oil, if desired.
Serve immediately with tortilla chips, veggie sticks, or as a spread on sandwiches and wraps.
