Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 15 oz black beans (canned, drained and rinsed)
- 3 tbsp low-sodium vegetable broth
- 2 tbsp lime juice (freshly squeezed)
- 1 garlic clove (minced)
- 1 tsp ground cumin
- 1 tsp smoked paprika
- 0.5 tsp chili powder
- 0.25 tsp salt
- 0.25 tsp black pepper
- 2 tbsp fresh cilantro (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Drain and rinse the canned black beans thoroughly under cool water.
Add the black beans, vegetable broth, lime juice, minced garlic, ground cumin, smoked paprika, chili powder, salt, and black pepper to a food processor or blender.
Blend the mixture on high speed until smooth and creamy. If the mixture is too thick, add an extra tablespoon of vegetable broth or water, one at a time, until your desired consistency is reached.
Taste the dip and adjust seasonings as needed, adding a pinch more salt or lime juice if desired.
Transfer the dip to a serving dish and garnish with freshly chopped cilantro if using.
Serve immediately with raw veggies, whole-grain crackers, or baked tortilla chips. Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3–5 days.
