- ¼ teaspoon onion powder
- ¼ teaspoon paprika
- 1/8 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/8 teaspoon cayenne pepper
Liquid Ingredient:
- 2 teaspoons brine from jarred jalapeños
Instructions
- Gather your selected ingredients, ensuring they are fresh and at room temperature for optimal blending performance.
- Activate the food processor and introduce refried beans, creating a foundational creamy texture for the dip.
- Strategically layer jalapeño slices and their tangy brine into the processor, which will infuse a vibrant, zesty undertone.
- Sprinkle in the dry seasonings – onion powder, paprika, garlic powder, and cayenne pepper – distributing them evenly for a balanced flavor profile.
- Engage the food processor’s pulse function, gradually increasing speed to thoroughly incorporate all components into a silky, uniform mixture.
- Continue processing for 1-2 minutes, periodically pausing to scrape down the sides, ensuring no ingredient remains unincorporated.
- Transfer the velvety dip into a sealed container, smoothing the surface to prevent air exposure.
- Refrigerate the dip for a minimum of 60 minutes, allowing the complex flavors to harmonize and intensify.
- When ready to serve, remove from the refrigerator and stir gently to refresh the texture.
- Present the chilled dip alongside an array of dipping options like crisp Fritos, tortilla chips, raw vegetable sticks, or warm pita wedges.
Notes
- Spice Level Control: Adjust the cayenne and jalapeño amounts to match your heat tolerance, creating a personalized spicy experience that suits your taste buds.
- Flavor Fusion Time: Refrigerating the dip for at least an hour allows the ingredients to blend and intensify, transforming a simple mix into a complex, mouthwatering appetizer.
- Texture Perfection: Blending for 1-2 minutes ensures a silky-smooth consistency that spreads easily and looks professionally prepared.
- Versatile Dipping Options: Beyond Fritos, try pairing with tortilla chips, fresh vegetable sticks, pita bread, or even as a zesty sandwich spread for maximum enjoyment.
- Make-Ahead Magic: This dip can be prepared up to 3 days in advance, making it perfect for party planning or quick snack preparation.
- Storage Tip: Keep the dip in an airtight container in the refrigerator to maintain its fresh flavor and creamy texture for maximum deliciousness.
