Ingredients
  

  • 2 cups (500 mL) cooked or canned black beans, drained and rinsed
  • 1/4 cup (60 mL) tahini
  • 1/4 cup (60 mL) lime juice
  • 1/4 cup (60 mL) water
  • 1 teaspoon (5 mL / 0.2 fl oz) minced chipotle pepper in adobo
  • 1 clove garlic, chopped
  • 1/2 teaspoon (2 mL / 0.1 fl oz) ground toasted cumin seeds
  • 1/2 teaspoon (2 mL / 0.1 fl oz) dried oregano
  • 1/4 teaspoon (1 mL / 0 fl oz) salt
  • 2 tablespoons (30 mL / 1 fl oz) chopped fresh cilantro or parsley
  • 1 tablespoon (15 mL / 0.5 fl oz) extra-virgin olive oil
  • For a milder heat and more smoke, use 1-2 teaspoons (10 ml / 0.3 fl oz) of the adobo sauce from the can of chipotles instead of a whole minced pepper.
  • For an ultra-creamy texture, add the olive oil in a slow, steady stream while the food processor is running.

Method
 

  1. In the bowl of a food processor, combine the black beans, tahini, lime juice, water, chipotle pepper, garlic, cumin, oregano, and salt.
  2. Purée the mixture until it is completely smooth and creamy.
  3. Add the fresh cilantro and olive oil to the food processor and pulse for just 5-10 seconds to combine, being careful not to over-blend the herbs.
  4. Scrape down the sides, taste, and adjust seasoning with more salt or lime juice if needed.
  5. Serve immediately or chill for later.
  6. Let the dip rest in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes before serving to allow the flavors to fully meld and deepen.
  7. Garnish with a sprinkle of smoked paprika, crumbled cotija cheese (if not vegan), and extra fresh cilantro for a beautiful presentation.
