Black Bean Pesto Dip Recipes

Steps:

• Puree two 14-ounce cans black beans (drained and rinsed), 2 minced garlic cloves, 1/4 cup each olive oil and lemon juice, 1 tablespoon white wine vinegar, 1 teaspoon ground cumin and a pinch each of salt and pepper in a food processor until almost smooth. Let sit 15 minutes before serving.

Steps:

• In a food processor, cover and process cream cheese until smooth. Add half of the beans; cover and pulse until blended. Transfer to a bowl; stir in the cheese, onions, cumin, cayenne and remaining beans. Cover and refrigerate for 8 hours or overnight., Just before serving, garnish with cheese, tomato and onion. Serve with tortilla chips.

Steps:

• Combine beans, water, lemon juice, garlic, cumin, chili powder, onion powder, and salt in a food processor; process until thick and smooth, adding more water if needed to reach desired thickness.
• Chill for at least 1 hour before serving.

Steps:

• Preheat the broiler. Put the poblanos on a baking sheet and broil, turning halfway through, until charred all over, 15 to 20 minutes. Let cool slightly, then remove the stems and seeds and peel off the charred skin. (It's OK if some skin remains.)
• Transfer the poblanos to a blender and add 1/2 cup water, the black beans, cilantro, scallions, lime juice, 2 teaspoons salt and the cumin. Puree until smooth. Transfer to a small bowl and serve with tortilla chips.

Steps:

• Place chilies, onions, garlic and beans in blender or food processor. Cover and blend on medium-high speed until almost smooth.

Steps:

• Mix black beans with cumin, coriander, chili powder and cayenne pepper and spread over the bottom of an over-proof baking dish.
• I don't usually measure the spices, so please use them to your own taste.
• (I'm a bit heavy handed with the cayenne pepper!) Sprinkle the grated cheese over top of the beans.
• I usually sprinkle a little chili powder or cumin on top of the cheese to give it a little color.
• Bake in preheated oven at 375°F for 10-15 minutes or until cheese is melted and bubbling slightly.
• Remove from oven and spoon sour cream evenly over the top of the cheese.
• Add shredded lettuce, jalapeños (if using), and top with fresh cilantro.
• Serve immediately with nacho chips for dipping.

Steps:

• Process beans in a food processor until smooth.

Steps:

• Sour Cream Topping: Mix the ingredients together in a small bowl & set aside for later use.
• Saute the beef, onion, & peppers together in a frying pan until the beef is no longer pink, drain excess grease.
• Stir in the sauce, mustard powder, taco seasoning, & beans. Simmer for 7 minutes.
• Spoon the beef mixture in a 9x9 glass dish. Then spread the sour cream mixture over beef.
• Top with cheese, tomato, & lettuce then serve with tortilla chips.

Steps:

• Process beans in processor until smooth. Stir in pesto. Add lemon juice to taste. Season with salt and pepper. (Can be prepared 1 day ahead.) Stir dip before serving.

Steps:

• Place all of the ingredients in a food processor and blend till its a smooth, creamy consistancy.
• Since I didn't measure when I made this dip, all measurements are approx., but accurate in my opinion -- you know how creamy you like your dip, so adjust according to your own taste!
• Enjoy!
