Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups canned black beans (drained and rinsed)
- 1 cup canned chickpeas (drained and rinsed)
- 2 pieces chipotle peppers in adobo sauce
- 1 tablespoon adobo sauce from canned chipotles
- 2 tablespoons fresh lime juice
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 cloves garlic cloves (minced)
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 2 tablespoons water (as needed for consistency)
- 2 tablespoons fresh cilantro (chopped, for garnish)
Instructions
In a skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant, but not browned.
In a food processor, combine the black beans, chickpeas, sautéed garlic, chipotle peppers, adobo sauce, lime juice, remaining olive oil, cumin, smoked paprika, salt, and 2 tablespoons of water.
Blend the mixture on high until smooth and creamy. If the dip is too thick, add more water, one tablespoon at a time, until the desired consistency is reached.
Taste the dip and adjust seasonings as needed, adding more lime juice for acidity, more salt for flavor, or another chipotle pepper for extra heat.
Transfer the dip to a serving bowl and garnish with chopped cilantro.
Serve immediately with tortilla chips, fresh vegetables, or pita bread for dipping. The dip can be refrigerated in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
