Ingredients

• 2 cups canned black beans (drained and rinsed)
• 1 cup canned chickpeas (drained and rinsed)
• 2 pieces chipotle peppers in adobo sauce
• 1 tablespoon adobo sauce from canned chipotles
• 2 tablespoons fresh lime juice
• 3 tablespoons olive oil
• 2 cloves garlic cloves (minced)
• 1 teaspoon ground cumin
• 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 2 tablespoons water (as needed for consistency)
• 2 tablespoons fresh cilantro (chopped, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

In a skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant, but not browned.

Step 2

In a food processor, combine the black beans, chickpeas, sautéed garlic, chipotle peppers, adobo sauce, lime juice, remaining olive oil, cumin, smoked paprika, salt, and 2 tablespoons of water.

Step 3

Blend the mixture on high until smooth and creamy. If the dip is too thick, add more water, one tablespoon at a time, until the desired consistency is reached.

Step 4

Taste the dip and adjust seasonings as needed, adding more lime juice for acidity, more salt for flavor, or another chipotle pepper for extra heat.

Step 5

Transfer the dip to a serving bowl and garnish with chopped cilantro.

Step 6

Serve immediately with tortilla chips, fresh vegetables, or pita bread for dipping. The dip can be refrigerated in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
