• 2 whole, minced garlic cloves
• 1 small, deseeded and chopped jalapeño

Directions

Step 1

Add the canned black beans, minced garlic, chopped jalapeño, fresh lime juice, olive oil, ground cumin, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper to a food processor or blender.

Step 2

Blend the mixture on high until smooth, pausing to scrape down the sides as needed. If the mixture seems too thick, add the water or vegetable broth one tablespoon at a time until the desired consistency is achieved.

Step 3

Taste the dip and adjust the seasonings, adding more salt, lime juice, or spices as preferred.

Step 4

Transfer the dip to a serving bowl and, if desired, top with shredded Mexican cheese blend and chopped fresh cilantro for garnish.

Step 5

Serve immediately with tortilla chips or fresh vegetables like sliced bell peppers, carrots, and celery sticks.

Step 6

If not serving right away, cover the dip and refrigerate it for up to 3 days. Allow the dip to come to room temperature or warm slightly before serving.
