Yield Makes 1 1/2 cups

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 tablespoon olive oil
1/3 cup chopped red onion
1 (15-ounce) can low-sodium pinto beans, rinsed and drained
2 garlic cloves, chopped
3 tablespoons chopped red bell pepper
3/4 teaspoon chili powder
1 1/2 teaspoons red wine vinegar

Steps:

  • Heat oil in a large skillet over medium. Add onion and cook until softened, 4-5 minutes. Add beans, garlic, and bell pepper and cook, stirring, until softened and warmed through, 4-5 minutes. Stir in chili powder and cook until fragrant, about 1 minute more.
  • Pulse bean mixture, vinegar, oregano, 3/4 tsp. salt, 1/4 tsp. pepper, and 1/4 cup water in a food processor, adding water by the tablespoonful if needed, until smooth. Taste and adjust seasoning. Serve warm or at room temperature.
  • Do Ahead
  • Bean dip can be made 3 days ahead. Store in an airtight container and chill.

Tips:

  • For a creamier spread, use a food processor or high-powered blender to puree the beans until they are very smooth.
  • If you don't have cumin or chili powder, you can substitute other spices like paprika, garlic powder, or onion powder.
  • For a spicier spread, add a pinch of cayenne pepper or red pepper flakes.
  • If you want a chunky spread, mash the beans with a fork or potato masher instead of pureeing them.
  • Serve the spread with tortilla chips, crackers, or vegetables.
  • You can also use the spread as a sandwich spread or dip for chicken or fish.
  • To make a vegan version of the spread, omit the sour cream and use a plant-based yogurt instead.
