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.
