- Taste the dip and gradually add salt, blending after each addition until the seasoning reaches your desired flavor profile.
- Transfer the dip to a serving bowl, using a spatula to ensure all the mixture is extracted from the processor.
- Finely chop fresh cilantro leaves and sprinkle them over the top of the dip as a garnish.

Tips
- Drain and rinse your beans thoroughly to ensure a smooth, creamy texture without excess liquid.
- Start with less chipotle sauce and gradually add more to control the heat level – these peppers pack a serious punch!
- Use a food processor or high-powered blender for the smoothest consistency possible.
- Fresh garlic is key – avoid pre-minced garlic for the most vibrant flavor.
- Don't skip the cilantro garnish – it adds a fresh, bright note that complements the smoky chipotle perfectly.
- For extra creaminess, you can add a tablespoon of olive oil or a splash of water while blending.
- This dip is incredibly versatile – use it as a spread, dip, or even a sauce for tacos and sandwiches.
- For best flavor, let the dip sit for 10-15 minutes before serving to allow the flavors to meld together.
