How to Make Black Bean Smoked Chile Dip

  1. In a small saucepan, warm 1 (15-ounce) can black beans with 1/4 cup water over medium heat for about 5 minutes.
  2. While beans warm, heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a small skillet over medium heat.
  3. Add 1/2 cup chopped scallions and 1 teaspoon smoked paprika, 1/2 teaspoon cumin, 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper (or more, to taste) to the skillet. Cook, stirring occasionally, until scallions are tender, about 10 minutes.
  4. Stir in 1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro and remove from heat.
  5. Add the warmed black beans (drained), the cooked scallion mixture, and 1-2 chipotle peppers in adobo sauce (finely chopped, adjust to taste) to a food processor. Process until coarsely pureed but still with some texture.
  6. Taste and add more chipotle peppers, a pinch at a time, if you prefer more heat.
  7. Stir in 2 tablespoons lime juice and 1 teaspoon salt (or to taste) to brighten the flavors.
  8. Serve immediately with your favorite dippers. Enjoy!
