• 4 tablespoons butter
• 1/2 cup red onion, chopped
• 2 jalapenos, chopped
• 2 garlic cloves, minced
• 30 ounces canned black beans
• 2 tablespoons lime juice
• 1/3 cup packed cilantro leaves
• 1 teaspoon hot sauce
• 1 teaspoon kosher salt
• 2 teaspoons cumin
• 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika
• 1/2 teaspoon chili powder
• 1/4 teaspoon cayenne
• Optional: cotija cheese, hot sauce, cilantro leaves, for topping
➊ In a non-stick skillet, melt butter over medium heat. Add in onions and jalapenos, and cook for about 5 minutes until softened. Do not brown. Add in garlic and cook for an additional 30 seconds until fragrant.
➋ In a food processor, add in cooked onions and jalapenos with butter, black beans, lime juice, cilantro, hot sauce, and seasonings.
➌ Process everything until fully combined. You may have to scrape the dip down on the sides to get it all to mix together.
➍ Pile into serving bowl, and top with cotija, hot sauce, and cilantro leaves, if desired.
