Chipotle Black Bean Hummus layered dip is a twist on the classic 7-layer Mexican dip. It starts with a blend of chipotle pepper spice & black bean hummus, Greek yogurt blended with spices, and finished off with traditional Mexican garnishes. I love using beans like black beans in dips protein, fiber, vitamins, and minerals that make every bite nourishing and filling. Serve with chips, pita bread, or vegetables for a healthy snack or appetizer!
7-Layer bean dip was a childhood favorite of mine. You know the one with refried beans, tomatoes, sour cream, cheese, onions, avocado and cilantro? I’ve re-created it here by combining the smoky taste of chipotle spice and blending it with black beans. I also love this version because I omit the cheese, and use greek yogurt in place of sour cream providing some extra protein.
My girlfriends and I were getting together once a week to watch the Iowa Farmer season of the Bachelor, and this was one of the dishes I brought to add to our soiree. IT was a huge hit! It makes a fabulous summer appetizer because it stays cold, and honestly, who doesn’t love a delicious dip with a bit of spice?! It all comes together nicely in less than 10 minutes and can also be made ahead up to 8 hours (just be sure to add the avocado right before you serve).
