Game Day Black Bean Dip - cooking recipe

Ingredients

1 tablespoon olive oil
1/4 cup chopped red onion
1 jalapeno, seeded and chopped
1 clove garlic, minced
1 teaspoon cumin
1 teaspoon chili powder
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper
2 (15 ounce) cans black beans, drained and reserving 1/4 cup liquid
2 tablespoons lime juice
2 tablespoons tomato paste
1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
1 bunch chopped fresh cilantro, or to taste

Preparation

Heat oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add onion, jalapeno, and garlic. Cook until onion is soft and translucent, about 5 minutes, stirring often to prevent garlic from burning. Add cumin, chili powder, salt, and cayenne pepper and cook 5 minutes more. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
Transfer onion mixture to a blender. Add black beans, reserved 1/4 cup liquid, lime juice, tomato paste, and vinegar and blend until smooth. Transfer to a serving bowl and garnish with cilantro.
