Spicy Black Bean Dip

September 3, 2012 by Lindsay 14 Comments

Jump to Recipe

Hi Friends!

It’s time for Secret Recipe Club!

This month I was assigned to the blog of the lovely Jane who organizes my reveal day group! Jane blogs at The Heritage Cook and has LOTS of great recipes and takes fabulous pictures. I immediately zeroed in on her Chipotle Black Bean Hummus and decided to make my own version. I have trouble calling something hummus when it doesn’t have chickpeas in it…I don’t know why…so I’m calling mine dip. And I didn’t used chipotle peppers like she did, so mine is just regular old spicy.

Since I did change her recipe a bit, here’s what I did:

  • Juice of one lemon

    This is great Lindsay – I LOVE your changes, especially using Greek yogurt. I am definitely going to have to try your version and I bet I will love it as much as I do my own!!

    Your dip sounds wonderful and I’ve had plenty of my best tasting food not be photogenic, oh well better to taste awesome.

    I think that the list of recipes that make up my “Oh-my-goodness-I-need-to-try-this-recipe-ASAP” just tripled in length … I’m glad that I have my whole lifetime to try new recipes, but I’m impatient and want to try them all NOW! haha. Deciding which to attempt first is going to be super difficult!!

    Yeah, this type of recipe is one I should make but haven’t. My young adults love the spicy black bean dip from Trader Joes, so I’m sure they’d love it equally well if I made my own– especially if I put it in the TJ’s container (sneaky mom).
