    Homemade Black Bean Dip - Easy, Creamy and Healthy!

    These days I am embracing quarantine and all the positive things about it, like cooking and eating delicious recipes with my family.

    It really is a blessing that the world had to slow down and we get to spend this time together. We are healthy and that in itself is something to be grateful for.

    So as the weather starts warming up, I am thinking of all the Tex-Mex recipes I want to enjoy in my backyard. Black beans, Carne Asada, Carnitas, Mexican corn and watermelon!

    I might even whip up some margaritas too!

    How to Make Black Bean Dip

    Homemade Black Bean Dip - Easy, Creamy and Healthy!

    This black bean dip is so easy to make – you just need a food processor! Just add all the ingredients and pulse it for 5 minutes until smooth and creamy and voila, you have the best homemade black bean dip!

    If you need more liquid to make it smooth, add a little bit of water – 1 tablespoon should do. You want it to be smooth, but still tick enough to be a thick consistency, so that you can eat it with chips easily.

    You can make this recipe using canned or home cooked beans. I prefer to use leftovers from my super simple instant pot black beans recipe because of the seasoning I use which gives me more control of the sodium content.

    If you want to make it spicier, add the Jalapeño or more chipotle pepper powder. You can also substitute it for black pepper, but I love the way the chipotle pepper gives it a smoky flavor.

    Another use for this black bean dip is to use it in tostadas, burritos or even tacos. It really is versatile!
