Ingredients

• 15 oz (1 can) canned black beans
• 1 large garlic clove
• 2 tbsp fresh lime juice
• 2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
• 1 tsp ground cumin
• 0.5 tsp chili powder
• 0.5 tsp salt
• 0.25 tsp ground black pepper
• 2 tbsp water
• 2 tbsp (optional) fresh cilantro

Directions

Step 1

Drain and rinse the black beans thoroughly under cool running water to remove excess sodium.

Step 2

Peel the garlic clove and roughly chop it to make blending easier.

Step 3

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

Step 4

Blend the ingredients on high speed until the mixture is smooth and creamy. If the dip is too thick, add 1 additional tablespoon of water at a time until you achieve your desired consistency.

Step 5

Taste the dip and adjust seasonings if needed. You can add more lime juice for tanginess, salt for flavor, or chili powder for spice.

Step 6

If desired, add the fresh cilantro into the food processor and pulse a few times to distribute it evenly throughout the dip.

Step 7

Transfer the black bean dip to a serving bowl and garnish with extra cilantro, a drizzle of olive oil, or a squeeze of lime juice if desired.

Step 8

Serve immediately with tortilla chips, fresh veggies, or as a spread for sandwiches or wraps. Refrigerate any leftovers in an airtight container for up to 5 days.
