In just 5 minutes, make this vegan black bean dip with a can of black beans, spices and seasonings. It's full of flavor and perfect with chips or as a veggie dip. Options to make this dairy-free, vegetarian black bean dip spicy are included!
Blend/process until smooth, stopping to scrape down sides a few times. Serve at room temperature or cold with chips or raw veggies.
If you would rather use this for tacos, tostadas, nachos or burritos instead of a thick dip, increase water to ¼ cup to thin the mixture, then heat on the stove or microwave. Use as you would refried beans.
