Chipotle Bean Dip Recipes

Steps:

• Heat the oven to 425ºF. Grease a 1-1/2 quart baking dish with oil and line a baking sheet with foil. Set the tomatoes in a colander over the sink and sprinkle with 1 teaspoons of the salt.
• Heat the oil in a large (12-inch) skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering hot. Reduce the heat to medium, add the onion, sprinkle with 1 teaspoons salt, and cook, stirring, until softened and translucent, 4 to 6 minutes. Add the garlic and chili powder and cook, stirring, for 1 minute. Add half of the black beans, the chipotles and adobo sauce, and 3/4 cup water and bring to a boil. Cook until the liquid reduces by about half, 2 to 3 minutes.
• Transfer the bean mixture to a food processor, add the vinegar, and process until smooth. Let cool for a couple of minutes and then transfer to a large bowl. Add the rest of the beans, the tomatoes, corn, half of each of the cheeses, and 1/2 cup of the cilantro. Mix well and season to taste with salt and pepper.
• Transfer to the baking dish and sprinkle with the remaining cheese. Bake on the foil-lined baking sheet (to catch drips) until the cheese melts and browns around the edges, about 15 minutes (longer if refrigerated). Sprinkle with the remaining cilantro and serve with the tortilla chips for dipping.

Steps:

• Heat oil in medium saucepan over medium high heat. Add onions, garlic and chipotle pepper. Stir and saute 5 to 7 minutes or until onion softens.
• Add cumin, oregano and adobo sauce (if using), stirring to awaken herb flavors, about 2 minutes.
• Reduce heat to medium and stir in refried beans. Splash salsa or Rotel around beans and stir to combine.
• Reduce heat to low and continue to cook beans, stirring occasionally, until warm throughout, 5 to 10 more minutes. Serve with tortilla chips for dipping.

Steps:

• Drain and rinse black beans. Mash with a potato masher.
• Combine beans, sour cream, tomato paste, chipotle chile pepper and cumin. Refrigerate 20 minutes.
• Garnish top of dip with onion, tomato and cilantro. Serve with tortilla chips.
• If you like a spicier dip, add some cayenne pepper to taste.
