This Easy Bean Dip is super easy and flavorful--guaranteed to be a hit at your next gathering. Makes great wrap filling too!

Ingredients

3 1/2 cups cooked beans
2 to 3 medium tomatoes (fresh or use the about 7 ounces of canned or jarred tomatoes)
1/4 cup lime juice (or the juice of 2 limes)
4 cloves garlic
1/2 medium onion
1/2 cup cilantro
1/2 tablespoon salt
1 jalapeno (optional)

Instructions

Place all of the ingredients except for the tomatoes and beans in a food processor or blender. Blend until smooth.
Add tomatoes and beans. Process slowly to desired consistency - just a little for a chunky / salsa-like dip; a lot for a smooth, thick, hummus-like dip.

Notes

Canned beans are OK, but preferably use previously-soaked beans that have been cooked with organic ajwain (ajowan) and/ or epazote. You can read my post on both of them here. Our favorite varieties are organic cranberry, black turtle, pinto, and kidney, but you can use any bean that you have available. See How to De-Gas Beans.

Make sure you read The Easiest Way to Peel Garlic for tips on peeling garlic.

1/8 cup minced dried onion, plus a bit of water, will work well instead of 1/2 onion.
