Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 15 oz (1 can) canned black beans
- 2 peppers chipotle peppers in adobo sauce
- 1 tbsp adobo sauce
- 2 cloves garlic cloves
- 2 tbsp lime juice
- 1 tsp ground cumin
- 1 tsp smoked paprika
- 0.5 tsp salt
- 0.25 tsp black pepper
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 0.25 cup water
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 2 tbsp chopped fresh cilantro
- (optional, for serving) tortilla chips or fresh veggies
Instructions
Drain and rinse the black beans and set aside.
Chop the chipotle peppers and garlic cloves finely.
Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a medium skillet over medium heat.
Add the chopped garlic and sauté for 1 minute until fragrant.
Stir in the black beans, chipotle peppers, adobo sauce, cumin, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper.
Add 1/4 cup of water and lime juice to the skillet. Stir well to combine.
Reduce the heat to low and simmer for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the mixture thickens slightly.
Using a fork or potato masher, mash the black beans in the skillet to create a slightly chunky texture. Alternatively, you can transfer the mixture to a blender or food processor for a smoother consistency, then return it to the skillet.
Stir in another tablespoon of olive oil and half of the shredded cheddar cheese. Mix until combined and melted.
Transfer the dip to a serving bowl, sprinkle the remaining cheddar cheese on top, and garnish with fresh cilantro.
Serve warm with tortilla chips or fresh vegetables for dipping.
