Ingredients
Scale
- 1 (15-ounce) can black beans, rinsed and drained
- 1/4 cup fresh cilantro leaves
- 2 tablespoons fresh lime juice
- 1 clove garlic
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1/4 teaspoon salt, or to taste
- Pinch of cayenne pepper (optional, for spice)
Instructions
- Place the rinsed and drained black beans, cilantro, lime juice, garlic, olive oil, cumin, salt, and cayenne pepper (if using) into a food processor.
- Process the ingredients until the mixture is mostly smooth. Stop and scrape down the sides as needed.
- For a creamier texture, add 1 to 2 tablespoons of water while processing until you reach your desired consistency.
- Taste the dip and adjust salt or lime juice as necessary.
- Transfer the dip to a serving bowl. Serve immediately with tortilla chips or fresh vegetables.
Notes
- For a hotter dip, increase the cayenne pepper or add a small amount of chopped jalapeño during processing.
- If you do not have a food processor, you can mash the beans well with a fork and then vigorously whisk in the remaining ingredients until combined. The texture will be less smooth.
- This dip is excellent served cold or at room temperature.
