Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups cooked or canned black beans
- 1 cup cooked or canned kidney beans
- 2 jalapeño peppers, diced
- 2 garlic cloves, minced
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons lime juice
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon chili powder
- 0.5 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.5 cup sour cream or Greek yogurt
- 0.25 cup shredded cheddar cheese (optional, for garnish)
- 2 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Rinse and drain the black beans and kidney beans if using canned beans.
Heat the olive oil in a small skillet over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and diced jalapeños and sauté for 1-2 minutes, until fragrant.
In a food processor or blender, combine the black beans, kidney beans, sautéed garlic and jalapeños, lime juice, ground cumin, chili powder, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper.
Blend the mixture until smooth, scraping down the sides as needed. If the consistency is too thick, add a tablespoon of water or olive oil at a time until you reach your desired texture.
Transfer the bean dip to a serving bowl. Stir in the sour cream or Greek yogurt for additional creaminess.
For serving, garnish with shredded cheddar cheese and chopped fresh cilantro, if desired.
Serve warm or at room temperature with tortilla chips, vegetable sticks, or pita bread.
