Black Bean Dip (With Video)

I made a black bean dip/hummus that can be eaten with tortilla chips, or used as a sauce in tacos, sandwiches or pretty much anything. This is a healthy alternative to cheese or chili dips, and tastes great!

I made it mostly according to the recipe below, however, I think I put a bit much cilantro and red pepper so it came out pretty spicy. Eddie loved it but if you're sensitive to spicy flavors, put a bit less of those.

I have included the recipe and source below. Enjoy!
