Chipotle Black Bean Dip!

Hi everyone! I'm happy to be joining Seasonal Sunday and Foodie Friday today! Even though my Personal PIGskin Challenge has ended, I wanted to add one more easy dip in case you want something different for the Super Bowl. Should be a great game!

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!
