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!

    Dips are totally for entertaining! And a dip that can be frozen and saved for later? Even better!

    Hi Ginny,

    Can you tell me why (and how) to save the aquafaba? I remember telling my vegan friends to save it but for the life of me, I can’t remember what to use it for. (A mind is a terrible thing to waste…teehee)
    Will give this bean dip (?Latino Hummus?) a try.
    Thanks,
    Rie

      Sure Rie! I save in in a small freezer safe glass container. When it’s black beans or kidney beans (a stronger tasting bean) I usually use it as an egg wash for when I am wanting to bread/panko something such as ravioli for the air fryer. As for chickpea aquafaba it is much milder so it is used mostly in baking. You can actually whip it and make meringues. It is also used as an egg substitute and you can mix it with firm tofu for scrambled eggs. It seems to be endless. 🙂
