Are you ready to try the best Black Bean Dip ever!! You will NOT find an easier recipe for a bean dip. All you need are three simple ingredients plus a little water and some salt and it all goes together in about 15 minutes. It's definitely a winner and everyone is going to love it!
Add to a small pot with the salsa and water. Cook for about 10 minutes, until the beans are quite soft.
Mash with a fork to your desired consistency.
Add butter and a pinch of salt and stir to melt the butter and fully combine.
Serve! This dip is great in tacos, quesadillas, and taquitos, with tortilla chips, or with raw bell peppers. I love to top it with a little cotija cheese and fresh cilantro if I have it.
Notes
This recipe serves 4 as part of a meal.Don't skip the butter! It's only a tablespoon and it adds so much flavor. You can use vegan butter or ghee here if needed. Prefer a thinner dip? Add a bit more salsa and water until it reaches the consistency you prefer.Like it smoother? This dip is on the chunky side since we're mashing the beans but if you want to make it a bit smoother (kind of like canned bean dip) you can blend it with an immersion blender, food processor, or blender.Missing the old recipe?
