Zutaten

Ingredients

•½ teaspoon garlic olive oil

•½ cup chopped onion yellow

•2 cloves garlic minced

•2 (15-ounce) cans black beans drained and rinsed

•½ teaspoon paprika

•½ teaspoon ancho chili powder (regular chili powder works but has paprika in it)

•½ teaspoon cumin

•½ teaspoon granulated onion

•½ teaspoon salt or to taste

•1 cup water

•4 chipotle pepper in adobo, chopped

•1 ½? teaspoons adobo sauce

•½ teaspoon agave syrup or your preferred liquid sweetener (used honey)

•½ teaspoon smoked salt (subbed with small amount of liquid smoke)

Anweisungen

1. Bring a large skillet to a medium heat, and add oil.

2. Add onions and garlic to the skillet. Saute until translucent and fragrant, about 3 to 5 minutes.

3. Add drained black beans, paprika, ancho chili powder, cumin, granulated onion, salt, water, chopped chipotle pepper, adobo sauce, and tomato paste to the skillet.

4. Fully combine all of the ingredients, and allow the liquid to cook down until it's mostly gone (roughly 5 to 10 minutes).

5. Once the liquid is mostly gone, add apple cider vinegar, agave syrup, and smoked salt. Fully combine, and cook a couple minutes more. Then remove from heat.

6. Carefully add the bean mixture to a food processor. Blend on high until mostly smooth, stopping occasionally to scrape down the sides. (If you'd prefer a thinner dip, add a Tablespoon of water and blend.)

7. Taste for heat and tang. If you'd like a spicier dip, add another chopped chipotle pepper and/or more adobo sauce and blend. If you'd like more tang, add another splash of apple cider vinegar. For more sweetness, add another squeeze of agave syrup.

8. You can either serve the warm dip with tortilla chips. Or you can put the dip in an airtight container and refrigerate. Then serve it cold (or reheat) whenever you're ready to snack.

Notizen

If you like a spicier dip, choose a larger chipotle pepper, or use more than one. If you prefer things less spicy, choose a smaller pepper or just use the adobo sauce.
