Instructions

Warm the olive oil in a small pan over medium heat.
Sauté the chopped red onion, minced garlic, and chopped jalapeño peppers for 5-8 minutes, stirring frequently. Remove from heat.
In a food processor, combine the drained and rinsed black beans, sautéed mixture, ground cumin, salt, lime juice, and cilantro. Process until fairly smooth, leaving some chunks if desired.
Transfer the dip to a serving dish and garnish with additional cilantro, vegan cheese, and pickled red onions, if using. Serve with tortilla chips.

For a creamier texture, add a splash of water when processing the dip.
This dip can be made a day ahead for enhanced flavors.
