    White Bean Dip with Chipotle In Adobo Sauce with homemade tortilla chips (or store bought) is a simple tasty dip and quickly brought together. Made with cannellini beans, chipotle peppers in adobo sauce, smoky spices, scallions and cilantro.

    White Bean Dip with Chipotle in Adobo Sauce served in a green dip bowl with homemade chips.

    This White Bean Dip is made with cannellini beans and of course chipotle peppers!

    Cannellini beans, are large white beans and are also called the “white kidney bean.”

    They are very popular in many types of Italian cuisine especially in Tuscany. As a matter of fact, Tuscans are known as “bean eaters” or “mangiafagioli” in Italian.

    This bean is mild in flavor but combined with the chipotle peppers, smoky spices and this dip becomes a grandiose combination of distinctive, peppery spiciness.

    Maybe I will make this dip tonight, sit outside on my patio with a good book and a glass of a full body Shiraz. Sounds tempting..

    Okay let’s get to it…

    • Start with making the homemade tortilla chips.
    • Cut corn tortillas into quarters and fry until golden brown. You can also bake them. I have done both for this presentation.  Or just buy store bought chips.

    Then drain and rinse the cannellini beans

    Put all ingredients into a chopper except the scallions and cilantro.

    Ingredients

    • 15 oz can cannellini beans
    • 1-2 chipotle peppers in adobo sauce add more if you like but start with one and see what you like
    • ½ teaspoon paprika
    • ½ to 1 teaspoon chili powder
    • ¼ to ¾ teaspoon cumin be cafeful not to add to much
    • 2 garlic cloves peeled
    • 1-2 lemon
    • salt and black pepper to taste
    • ¼ cup olive oil add more if you feel you want your dip smoother
    • scallion or cilantro chopped for garnish
    • 1 package 6 in corn tortillas cut into quarters, to look like tortilla chips, fry as many or as little as you like or buy store bought chips
    • vegetable oil for frying

    Instructions

    Homemade Tortilla Chips

    • Cut a stack of corn tortillas in quarters.
    • If frying in a frying pan, add about ½ inch to an inch of oil.  Fry chips until golden brown on each side, do not overcrowd pan.  Drain on a paper towels. 
    • Alternative: Can bake tortilla chips at 375 degrees (190 degrees Celsius) for a few minutes. I have used both frying and baking techniques here for presentation.

    Dip

    • Drain and rinse beans. Put all ingredients (except scallions or cilantro) in a food processor or small chopper until well blended and smooth. 
    • Taste and adjust to taste with more chipotle peppers if you would like.  Add salt and pepper to taste.
    • Can heat in microwave for a minute or two or serve at room temperature. I prefer it warm.
    • Put in bowl and garnish with scallions or cilantro. Or both! Can also drizzle a little more olive oil on top. Serve with homemade tortilla chips. Enjoy!

    Notes

    Serve warm. Allow to come back to room temperature if you store in refrigerator before serving. May also drizzle a little olive oil on top.
