Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups cooked black beans (drained and rinsed, if canned)
- 2 tablespoons fresh lime juice
- 1 teaspoon lime zest
- 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
- 1 clove garlic (minced)
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon chili powder
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 3 tablespoons cilantro (chopped)
- 2 tablespoons water
- 1 jalapeño (seeded and chopped, optional)
Instructions
In a food processor or blender, combine the black beans, lime juice, lime zest, olive oil, minced garlic, ground cumin, chili powder, salt, and black pepper.
If you want some heat, add the chopped jalapeño to the mixture.
Blend or process the mixture until it becomes a smooth and creamy consistency. If the dip is too thick, add the water one tablespoon at a time, blending between additions, until the desired consistency is achieved.
Once blended, transfer the dip to a serving bowl.
Stir in the chopped cilantro for a burst of fresh flavor.
Taste the dip and adjust seasoning if necessary by adding more lime juice, salt, or spices to your preference.
Serve immediately with tortilla chips, pita bread, or fresh vegetables. Alternatively, refrigerate the dip for up to 3 days in an airtight container before serving.
