Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups Black beans (canned, rinsed and drained)
- 1 cup Sour cream
- 2 tablespoons Lime juice (freshly squeezed)
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 2 cloves Garlic (cloves, minced)
- 1 teaspoon Ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon Smoked paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 teaspoon Hot sauce (optional)
- 2 tablespoons Cilantro (fresh, chopped, for garnish)
- 1 bag Tortilla chips (for serving)
Instructions
In a medium skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for 1-2 minutes, or until fragrant and lightly golden. Remove from heat.
In a food processor or blender, combine the black beans, sour cream, lime juice, sautéed garlic (and olive oil from the pan), ground cumin, smoked paprika, salt, black pepper, and optional hot sauce.
Blend the mixture until smooth and creamy. If the dip is too thick, add a tablespoon of water at a time until the desired consistency is reached.
Transfer the dip to a serving bowl. Garnish with freshly chopped cilantro for a burst of freshness.
Serve the dip with tortilla chips or a selection of sliced fresh veggies like carrots, cucumber, and bell peppers for dipping.
