WARM BLACK BEAN DIP

Steps:

• In a large nonstick skillet, saute onion in oil until tender. Add garlic; cook 1 minute longer. Add beans; mash gently. Stir in the tomato, picante sauce, cumin and chili powder. Cook and stir just until heated through. Remove from heat; stir in cheese, cilantro and lime juice. Serve warm with chips.

BLACK BEAN DIP

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.

TEXAS BAKED BEAN DIP

Steps:

• Heat a Dutch oven over medium heat; line a plate with a paper towel. Add the bacon to the pot and cook, stirring occasionally, until crisp, 5 to 7 minutes. With a slotted spoon, transfer the bacon to the lined plate to drain.
• Discard most of the bacon fat, leaving about 2 tablespoons in the pot. Return to medium heat, add the onion, bell pepper and garlic and saute until beginning to brown, about 3 minutes. Add the brown sugar, coffee, ketchup, mustard, chile paste and 1 teaspoon each salt and pepper, then add the beans and stir to combine. Bring to a simmer, then cover and cook until the sauce has thickened, 12 to 15 minutes.
• Remove the pot from the heat and stir in the sour cream. Taste and adjust the seasoning as needed. Transfer the dip to a serving bowl and garnish with the Cheddar, green onions and reserved bacon. Serve with crackers or chips alongside.

BAKED MEXICAN BLACK BEAN DIP

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.
