Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 can (15 oz) canned black beans
- 1 can (15 oz) canned white beans (cannellini or great northern beans)
- 3 tablespoons fresh lime juice
- 3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
- 1 small jalapeño pepper, deseeded and finely chopped
- 2 cloves garlic cloves, minced
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 0.75 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon red pepper flakes
- 3 tablespoons fresh cilantro, chopped
- 2 tablespoons water (if needed)
Instructions
Drain and rinse both the black beans and white beans thoroughly under cold water, then transfer them to a food processor or high-speed blender.
Add lime juice, olive oil, jalapeño, garlic, ground cumin, smoked paprika, salt, and red pepper flakes to the food processor.
Pulse the mixture several times to combine, then blend on high until smooth and creamy. If the mixture is too thick, add 1-2 tablespoons of water to reach your desired consistency.
Taste the dip and adjust seasonings if necessary, adding more lime juice, salt, or spice as desired.
Transfer the dip to a serving bowl and sprinkle the chopped cilantro over the top as a garnish.
Serve immediately with tortilla chips, veggie sticks, or pita bread. Alternatively, refrigerate for up to 3 days in an airtight container.
