Ingredients

• 15 oz (1 can) black beans
• 15 oz (1 can) pinto beans
• 2 tbsp olive oil
• 1 medium (finely chopped) onion
• 3 (minced) garlic cloves
• 1 tsp ground cumin
• 1 tsp smoked paprika
• 1 tsp chili powder
• 1 tbsp (freshly squeezed) lime juice
• 2 tbsp (chopped) fresh cilantro
• 0.5 tsp (or to taste) salt
• 0.25 tsp (or to taste) black pepper
• 0.5 cup (optional for garnish) shredded cheddar cheese
• 0.25 cup (optional for serving) sour cream
• None (for dipping, as desired) tortilla chips or vegetable sticks

Directions

Step 1

Drain and rinse the black beans and pinto beans in a colander. Set aside.

Step 2

Heat the olive oil in a medium skillet over medium heat.

Step 3

Add the chopped onion to the skillet and sauté for 3-4 minutes, or until softened and translucent.

Step 4

Stir in the minced garlic, cumin, smoked paprika, and chili powder. Cook for 1 minute, stirring frequently, until fragrant.

Step 5

Reduce the heat to low and add the rinsed beans to the skillet. Stir to combine and cook for 2-3 minutes, allowing the beans to absorb the flavors.

Step 6

Transfer the bean mixture to a food processor or blender. Add lime juice, chopped cilantro, salt, and pepper. Pulse until the mixture reaches your desired consistency. For a creamier dip, add 1-2 tablespoons of water while blending.

Step 7

Taste and adjust seasoning as needed. Add more lime juice, salt, or spices to suit your preference.

Step 8

Transfer the dip to a serving bowl. If desired, sprinkle shredded cheddar cheese on top for a melty garnish.

Step 9

Serve immediately with tortilla chips or vegetable sticks. Optionally, top each serving with a dollop of sour cream for extra creaminess.
