Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 15 oz (1 can) canned black beans
- 1 large garlic clove
- 2 tbsp fresh lime juice
- 2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
- 1 tsp ground cumin
- 0.5 tsp chili powder
- 0.5 tsp salt
- 0.25 tsp ground black pepper
- 2 tbsp water
- 2 tbsp (optional) fresh cilantro
Instructions
Drain and rinse the black beans thoroughly under cool running water to remove excess sodium.
Peel the garlic clove and roughly chop it to make blending easier.
In a food processor or blender, combine the black beans, garlic, lime juice, olive oil, cumin, chili powder, salt, pepper, and water.
Blend the ingredients on high speed until the mixture is smooth and creamy. If the dip is too thick, add 1 additional tablespoon of water at a time until you achieve your desired consistency.
Taste the dip and adjust seasonings if needed. You can add more lime juice for tanginess, salt for flavor, or chili powder for spice.
If desired, add the fresh cilantro into the food processor and pulse a few times to distribute it evenly throughout the dip.
Transfer the black bean dip to a serving bowl and garnish with extra cilantro, a drizzle of olive oil, or a squeeze of lime juice if desired.
Serve immediately with tortilla chips, fresh veggies, or as a spread for sandwiches or wraps. Refrigerate any leftovers in an airtight container for up to 5 days.
