Chipotle Black Bean Dip

Chipotle Black Bean Dip is a bit spicy and goes with many different kinds of chips and veggies. No stove to turn on, and you can whip up a batch in no time.

Chipotle Black Bean Dip – Oh Boy! To me, dip means there is a party coming! I mean, when else do you make a dip? Company is coming over in every shape and style, and it will be a great day.

I think everyone will love this appetizer dip, and if you don’t like too much heat, then cut the amount of chili in half. Visa versa, too. To me, it is just right. 🙂

This dip goes with so many different kinds of chips and veggies. Make sure you get plenty made for a crowd. It goes great with thick pita chips and tortilla chips, too.

Scoops are really good, and any vegetable you can think of, such as cauliflower and carrots. The sweet taste of carrots contrasting with spicy bean dip is really, really good.

Oh, yeah! Pretzels too. Ed likes those big fat rods that almost look like a cigar.

Black Beans are Protein Packed

  • Unbelievably, a cup of black beans is 15g of protein.  I repeat, 15 grams.
  • Not only that, beans have lots of fiber.
  • There are Omega 3 and Omega 6 fatty acids.
  • NO cholesterol or sugar.
  • 11 minerals, including around 30% of your daily minimum magnesium requirements.
  • 7 vitamins and even more.  Black Beans are good!

There is no oven or stovetop to turn on for this dip recipe, and you can whip up a batch in 15 minutes. And these readily available ingredients may already be in your cupboard.

You may have to run over and buy the fresh produce, so maybe you’ll want to grab the ingredients for Sun-Dried Tomato Pesto Tortilla Rollups, too. It’s always fun to have finger food sitting on the table along with your dips, chips, and vegetables anyway.

Keep this recipe handy, either bookmarked, pinned, printed out, or saved to your recipe box, because I think you will be going for it time and time again. A party pleaser!

Notes

IF FREEZING:
Package in rigid sided containers as defined in my article How to Prepare Food for the Freezer.
TO PREPARE AFTER FREEZING:
Remove from the freezer and put in the refrigerator for 6 to 8 hours.
You could heat in the microwave and serve with chips and veggies of your choice. Heating is not necessary though. But … it’s good.
