Smoky Black Bean Dip
Happy Monday!
I hope you had a good weekend.
Ours was low key. Friday night we went to Hofbrauhaus and had a couple beers and a huge German pretzel. It was a good prep for the real thing in a month. Our son got a kick out of the German band that was playing (always a good distraction for the toddlers out there). We find that taking our son to restaurants these days can be hard so we are always looking for places with something to distract him.
Now to do a total 180 from German food …lets talk about this Smoky Black Bean Dip. Cinco de Mayo is in less than a month and this would be a perfect appetizer to have at your party. I eat this Smoky Black Bean Dip any time of the year but if you need an excuse, there you go. 🙂
The smoky flavor that the chipotle chilies in adobo sauce adds is a nice change from traditional black bean dip.
Black beans are not only healthy (protein and fiber packed) but filling. We eat a lot of black bean dips in my house (like this Baked Black Bean Dip). I saw this Smoky Black Bean Dip in a magazine recently and knew I had to try it. My husband, the taste tester, went out of his way to tell me how good this dip was not once, but twice.
I love dips because they are very customizable to your tastes. I followed this recipe closely (I subbed Greek yogurt for sour cream) but you could easily use more or less of the chipotle chilies in adobo sauce. You could add some chopped tomatoes and avocado as garnish. The sky is the limit with something like this — experiment and have fun with it.
In less than 15 minutes you can have this Smoky Black Bean Dip in front of you ready to snack on with a nice cold beer or margarita. Can’t beat that!

Yum! Love a healthy dip!
Thanks Jess! Me too. 🙂 And..I miss you!
Anything that can be eaten with a chip is a winner in my book. But oh.my! I love black bean dip-this looks tasty!
I agree, Lisa!! This one is good too-I think you would really like it.
I can close my eyes and almost taste that dip. Good job!
Thanks Maureen. It is a flavorful dip, that’s for sure.
What a great bunch of ingredients. Love the limes and chipotle. Thanks for the recipe.
Thanks Ginny!
Dips are freaking dangerous. They definitely disappear faster than anything else in my house. Mmmm black bean dip.
Agreed!! And those roasted garlic, goat cheese and chive mashed potatoes… I imagine those are pretty dangerous too!
Ooooo! Chipotle black beans! The flavors in this are amazing. I OD’d on salsa so I am in need of a new healthy snack. I also am glad you guys liked Hofbrauhaus. A bit pricey, but still fun.
I love salsa too. I am always looking for new recipes. I loved your post on Friday and def. trying that soon.
We did like it–we decided we should have skipped food other than the giant pretzel and the beer. It was a bit pricey, but I guess that is what happens at those kind of places. 🙂
Sounds great. Thank you.
You are welcome Liz! I hope you get a chance to try it out!
I could eat dip every day. Love it! Can’t wait to try this!
Thanks, Kelli! I agree. We eat A LOT Of dips in my house. Easy to throw together and usually healthy!
YUM!!!! I made bean dip last week and almost ate all of it. LOL
I know! It is SO good!
I love that you lightened it with yogurt! Must try that next time…
I tried it both ways and I couldn’t even taste the difference. I hope you like it!
