EXPERT TIPS

Expert Tips

If you use canned chipotle chiles in this dip, it is not necessary to soak them as directed in the recipe. Add the canned chiles directly to the beans in the food processor, along with 3 tablespoons of the adobo sauce from the can in place of the soaking liquid. Since this menu has several appetizers, you can choose to make one recipe of bean dip or more.
