Ingredients

• 2 cups canned black beans
• 2 large garlic cloves
• 1 medium jalapeño pepper
• 2 tablespoons fresh lime juice
• 3 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 teaspoon ground cumin
• 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 0.25 cup fresh cilantro
• 2 tablespoons water

Directions

Step 1

1. Drain and rinse the canned black beans thoroughly under cold water. Pat them dry with a paper towel to remove excess moisture.

Step 2

2. Peel the garlic cloves and finely chop the jalapeño pepper. If you prefer less heat, remove the seeds and membrane from the jalapeño before chopping.

Step 3

3. In a food processor, combine the black beans, garlic, jalapeño, lime juice, olive oil, ground cumin, smoked paprika, salt, and cilantro.

Step 4

4. Blend the mixture on high until smooth. Scrape down the sides of the food processor as needed to ensure all ingredients are well combined.

Step 5

5. Add 1 to 2 tablespoons of water, one at a time, and continue blending until the dip reaches your desired consistency. It should be creamy but not runny.

Step 6

6. Taste the dip and adjust seasonings, adding more salt, lime juice, or spices to suit your taste.

Step 7

7. Transfer the black bean dip to a serving bowl and garnish with a sprinkle of smoked paprika or chopped cilantro.

Step 8

8. Serve immediately with tortilla chips, fresh veggies, or as a spread for sandwiches. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
