Hot Sisters’ Chipotle Black Bean Dip

This bean dip is named for my 3 hot sisters. They’re all you really need to get a cocktail party started. If you don’t have hot sisters of your own, borrow a friend’s or just make this spicy bean dip. Its truly easy — almost fun — to make. Full of hot summer flavor, easy to eat, and suspiciously vegan, it will make any party a hit with or without sisters.

Serves: 20 guests with other appetizers
Time: 15 minutes plus 30 minutes baking time

Hot Sisters’ Chipotle Black Bean Dip

4 cans black beans (15.5 oz)
1 can chipotle peppers in adobo sauce (7 oz)
½ tsp cumin
juice of 1 lime

In a blender, food processor, or with a hand blender, pulverize the chipotle peppers together with the sauce from the can.

Blend (or smash with a fork) the 4 cans of black beans (2 with the canning liquid, 2 drained) in a large bowl and stir in half the blended peppers, cumin and lime. If you like spicy, add more chipotle sauce to taste. I ended up using most of the can but be careful- chipotles are smoked jalapenos and they have a strong lingering heat!

Serve room temp or put in a 350 degree oven for a half hour to serve warm.
