Makes about 2 cups

You can use this dip to make veggies more interesting or you can use as a spread for wraps. I have even taken the dip and mixed it with cooked grains to make quick and tasty burgers. I recommend making your black beans from scratch for the best flavor but canned beans work too.

Recipe Ingredients (Topping):

  • 2 cups cooked black beans

  • 2-3 cloves garlic, pressed

  • 1 teaspoon cumin powder

  • 2 teaspoons chili powder

  • 1 dash of cayenne pepper

  • 2 teaspoons chopped onion

  • 1 tablespoon lime juice

  • 1 tablespoon Bragg’s liquid amino acids or tamari

  • 4 tablespoons minced cilantro, save 1 for garnish

Instructions

Combine all ingredients except 1 tablespoon cilantro into the food processor. If the mixture seems too thick, add water or lime juice 1 tablespoon at a time until it is the desired consistency. Top with the remaining cilantro.
