    This Chipotle Black Bean Dip has my favorite flavor profile - sweet and spicy. I can not get enough of it!

    This vegan dip was inspired by my Maple Chipotle Black Bean Lettuce Wraps.

    It is quick and easy to make. Besides being a dip, it works great in a wrap or vegan quesadilla.

    Other chipotle recipes to try are my Spicy Black Bean Hummus Recipe and my Adobo Pizza. A dip recipe to try is my Vegan Layered Dip with Cream Cheese.

    ❤️ Why You'll Love It

    • It is sweet and spicy.
    • It is simple and easy to make.
    • It is really versatile.

    🧾 Ingredients

    This is an overview of the ingredients. To see the full list of ingredients with measurements and instructions, see the recipe card at the bottom of this post.

    • Onions: Adds a pungent flavor. I used a yellow onion. You could also use white onion, red onion, or green onions.
    • Olive oil: For cooking the onions. You could use any high-heat neutral flavored oil.
    • Black beans: You could also use pinto beans.
    • Chipotle in adobo sauce and the adobo sauce: Adds a smoky spicy flavor. If you are gluten intolerant like I am, make sure to read the labels. Some chipotle in adobo brands have wheat.
    • Maple syrup: Adds sweetness. You could also use agave syrup or brown sugar.
    • Tamari: I used low-sodium gluten-free tamari because I like to control the amount of salt. You could also use soy sauce or liquid aminos.
    • Vegetable broth: Adds flavor. I like to use low-sodium vegetable broth to control the amount of salt.
    • Salt and pepper: Enhances flavors and adds flavor.

    💭 Tips

    • Start with less chipotle peppers if you don't like really spicy foods. You can always add more, but you can't take it away.
    • When you are mixing the ingredients in a food processor is the perfect time to add more chipotle to your liking.
    • If you really don't like things very spicy, add only the adobo sauce, and leave out the chipotle peppers.
    • That's also a great time to add more vegetable broth if you want a thinner consistency.
