Ingredients

• 2 cups cooked black beans (drained and rinsed, if canned)
• 2 tablespoons fresh lime juice
• 1 teaspoon lime zest
• 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
• 1 clove garlic (minced)
• 1 teaspoon ground cumin
• 1 teaspoon chili powder
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 0.25 teaspoon ground black pepper
• 3 tablespoons cilantro (chopped)
• 2 tablespoons water
• 1 jalapeño (seeded and chopped, optional)

Directions

Step 1

In a food processor or blender, combine the black beans, lime juice, lime zest, olive oil, minced garlic, ground cumin, chili powder, salt, and black pepper.

Step 2

If you want some heat, add the chopped jalapeño to the mixture.

Step 3

Blend or process the mixture until it becomes a smooth and creamy consistency. If the dip is too thick, add the water one tablespoon at a time, blending between additions, until the desired consistency is achieved.

Step 4

Once blended, transfer the dip to a serving bowl.

Step 5

Stir in the chopped cilantro for a burst of fresh flavor.

Step 6

Taste the dip and adjust seasoning if necessary by adding more lime juice, salt, or spices to your preference.

Step 7

Serve immediately with tortilla chips, pita bread, or fresh vegetables. Alternatively, refrigerate the dip for up to 3 days in an airtight container before serving.
