Cook over low heat for about 15-20 minutes, stirring occasionally.

When the dip thickens and reaches your desired consistency, remove it from the heat.

You can drizzle a little olive oil on top and garnish with paprika or finely chopped herbs.

Recipe Notes

If using canned black beans, choose a low-salt option when possible.

Drain and rinse canned beans before using.

For a spicier dip, increase the amount of cayenne pepper.

You can replace tofu with a small amount of cooked chickpeas or strained yogurt for texture. If yogurt is used, the recipe will contain dairy.

You can use oat milk or regular milk instead of almond milk.

For a deeper flavor, chill the dip in the refrigerator for a few hours before serving.

Store the dip in an airtight container in the refrigerator for 4-5 days.

This dip can also be used with sandwiches, wraps, roasted vegetables or baked potatoes.
