Pinto Bean Dip
Description
The recipe uses canned pinto beans blended with salsa and fresh jalapeño pepper to add heat. Nutritional yeast contributes a mild cheesy, savory note without dairy, while cumin adds earthiness. Processing these ingredients in a food processor forms a creamy dip that can vary in texture depending on blending time or if some beans are left lightly mashed.
The final dip has a balance of spice from the jalapeño and depth from the cumin and nutritional yeast. Adjusting the amount of jalapeño allows control over spiciness. Additional water can be added to thin the dip to preferred consistency. This pinto bean-based dip is suitable for serving with chips, vegetables, or as a spread.
Tasting and adjusting the seasoning after blending ensures the right balance. Salt can be added if desired. The recipe is quick to prepare and versatile in application.
Ingredients
- 1 pinto beans drained, 15-ounce can
- ⅓ cup salsa
- ½ to 1 jalapeno pepper depending on spice preference, fresh
- 3 tablespoons nutritional yeast
- 2 teaspoons cumin
Instructions
- In a food processor, combine the beans, salsa, jalapeno, nutritional yeast, and cumin and wiz until completely creamy.
Notes
- For a chunkier texture, pulse ingredients less and mash some beans separately before combining.
- Add water to thin the dip if a looser consistency is preferred.
- Adjust the jalapeño quantity to control the level of heat.
- Taste the dip after blending and add salt or additional seasonings as needed.
