Smoky Black Bean Dip

Ours was low key. Friday night we went to Hofbrauhaus and had a couple beers and a huge German pretzel. It was a good prep for the real thing in a month. Our son got a kick out of the German band that was playing (always a good distraction for the toddlers out there). We find that taking our son to restaurants these days can be hard so we are always looking for places with something to distract him.

Now to do a total 180 from German food …lets talk about this Smoky Black Bean Dip. Cinco de Mayo is in less than a month and this would be a perfect appetizer to have at your party. I eat this Smoky Black Bean Dip any time of the year but if you need an excuse, there you go. 🙂

The smoky flavor that the chipotle chilies in adobo sauce adds is a nice change from traditional black bean dip.
