Ingredients
- 15 oz canned black beans
- 2 medium roasted red peppers
- 2 cloves garlic
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 2 tbsp lime juice
- 1 tsp ground cumin
- 1 tsp smoked paprika
- 0.5 tsp salt
- 0.5 tsp black pepper
- 2 tbsp fresh cilantro
- 3 tbsp water
Directions
Step 1
Drain and rinse the canned black beans thoroughly under cold water.
Step 2
If using jarred roasted red peppers, drain them well. If roasting your own, char the red peppers over an open flame or under a broiler until blackened all over. Place them in a bowl, cover with plastic wrap, and let them steam for 10 minutes before peeling off the charred skin and removing seeds.
Step 3
In a food processor, combine the black beans, roasted red peppers, garlic cloves, olive oil, lime juice, ground cumin, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper.
Step 4
Pulse a few times to start blending, then run the processor while streaming in the water, one tablespoon at a time, until the mixture becomes smooth and creamy. Scrape down the sides of the bowl as needed.
Step 5
Taste the dip and adjust seasoning with additional salt, pepper, or lime juice if desired.
Step 6
Stir in chopped fresh cilantro or pulse it for just a second in the processor to incorporate it into the dip.
Step 7
Transfer the dip into a serving bowl and drizzle a bit of olive oil on top for garnish, if desired.
Step 8
Serve immediately with tortilla chips, pita bread, or fresh vegetables, or store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
