Chipotle Black Bean Dip
Trust me, what this lacks in color, it more than makes up for in flavor-Oh Momma!
I found this from a commenter on thekitchn.com, I did not copy the gentleman's name.
Hope you love it if you try it:@)
Chipotle Black Bean Dip
1 can drained and rinsed black beans (he says reserve the juice)
1 rinsed, seeded medium sized chopotle
1 Tblsp Adobo sauce
Juice of 1/2 lime
1 clove garlic, small
Salt to taste (you do need to add some)
Blend all in a food processor. He suggests adding the bean liquid until you get the desired consistency.
Serve with chips, veggies, anything really.
Notes:
- This is one of those sneaky, addictive dips! Luckily, it's not too bad for you.
- I suggest rinsing the beans, and if you need to add more liquid simply use more lime juice.
- Chipotles are smoked jalapeños, so they do have some heat!
- Chipotles in Adobo come in a small can in the Mexican food isle of supermarkets and Walmart.
- I have a couple recipes that use chipotle's but never a whole can of them. I place one or two peppers on a silicone or parchment lined cookie sheet, topping them with the sauce, they freeze very well. Store in a zip top bag.
- I ended up using one chipotle with however much sauce was frozen to it, and I did remove as many seeds as I could.
This recipe gave me a chance to use one of my favorite kitchen gadgets, my Food Processor!
