I love a good spicy black bean! I grew up with black beans on the weekly menu in Panamá and I grew tired of them. I now love them make them lots of ways and I can't wait to try these. Those chipotle peppers are like a volcano of heat in a can and a little goes a long way. So, I am always looking for ways to use those hot little babies up!

Yes and the beauty of this dip is you can make it as mild or hot as you want!!

This is so clever! I love turning bean soups into dips, so I should totally try just making it as a dip to begin with! YUM
