A few years ago, we went to Florida and I got one of my favorite meals to date: Black Bean Soup. Ever since then, I absolutely love using black beans (especially over pinto beans) when I can in recipes. And easy recipes like this Black Bean Dip are definitely some of my favorites.
I’m not sure what it is, but I love dips. Hummus, salsa, ranch, seven layer – you name it, I’ve most likely had it, made it and eaten it. Dips are one of the only ways I eat veggies raw, too. And when I can bring a little bit of Mexican flare into it? Yes please!
This Black Bean Dip is the perfect mix of spices and beany, fiberous goodness. It has a ton of flavor and isn’t spicy which is just right for my taste buds. But if you want to kick it up a notch or two, add in some jalapeños or cayenne pepper!
- 1 Can of Black Beans 15 oz, drained
- 1/2 Medium Onion
- 1 Tbsp Minced Garlic
- 2 Tsp Lime Juice
- 2 Tsp Cumin
- 1 Tsp Chili Powder
- 1/2 Tsp Salt
- Cilantro to taste Optional
-
Chop the onion in quarters and throw in the food processor. Process until finely diced.
-
Add in the rest of the ingredients and blend until thoroughly mixed.
-
Serve hot or cold with vegetables or chips.
Some of my favorite dippers for this Black Bean Dip:
- Tortilla Chips
- Peppers
- Carrots
- Celery
With how easy it is to make and how delicious it is, it’s perfect for game days, snack lunches (another favorite of mine), appetizers, parties – the list is endless! It’s a must make for me whenever we get together with friends and family now. And if you’re looking to pair it with another tasty dip, try this zesty guacamole recipe!
