Ingredients

• 2 large Poblano peppers
• 2 cups (cooked or rinsed and drained from cans) Black beans
• 2 large Garlic cloves
• 2 tablespoons Fresh lime juice
• 1 teaspoon Ground cumin
• 1 teaspoon Smoked paprika
• 3 tablespoons Olive oil
• 2 tablespoons Water
• 0.5 teaspoon (or to taste) Salt
• 2 tablespoons (chopped, optional for garnish) Cilantro
• 0 as needed for serving Tortilla chips or veggies

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your broiler or set your stove's gas burner to medium-high heat.

Step 2

Place the poblano peppers directly under the broiler or over the open flame. Use tongs to turn the peppers occasionally until the skin is blackened and blistered on all sides, about 5-7 minutes.

Step 3

Transfer the roasted poblanos to a bowl and cover with a plate, or place them in a resealable plastic bag. Let them steam for 5 minutes to loosen the skin.

Step 4

Once cool enough to handle, peel off the charred skin, remove the stems and seeds, and roughly chop the peppers. Set aside.

Step 5

In a food processor or blender, combine the black beans, roasted poblanos, garlic cloves, lime juice, ground cumin, smoked paprika, olive oil, water, and salt.

Step 6

Blend the ingredients until smooth, scraping down the sides as needed. If the dip is too thick, add an additional tablespoon of water at a time until the desired consistency is reached.

Step 7

Taste and adjust seasoning, adding more lime juice, salt, or spices if desired.

Step 8

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

Step 9

Serve with tortilla chips, fresh vegetables, or as a spread for sandwiches and wraps.
