CREAMY ROASTED POBLANO DIP

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400°
• Set aside 1 garlic clove. Place poblano peppers, onion, and the remaining garlic cloves on a large baking sheet.
• Brush the peppers with 1 tablespoon olive oil, and toss onions and garlic in the remaining tablespoon.
• Place in the oven to roast for 20-25 minutes, until all vegetables are tender and cooked through.
• Once the roasted vegetables are cooled down enough to touch, place all in a food processor, along with the reserved fresh garlic clove.
• Pulse a few times to combine.
• Add sour cream and salt and pepper to taste. Process until fully combined.
• Serve dip warm or cold. It's delicious warm with or on tacos or taquitos, and excellent cold as a tasty guac alternative with chips.

EASY BLACK BEAN DIP

BLACK BEAN DIP

Steps:

• Heat the olive oil over medium heat in a small saucepan. Add the onions, garlic and jalapeño peppers and cook, stirring occasionally, until very soft, about ten minutes. Do not brown.
• Transfer the cooked onion mixture to a blender or food processor and add the black beans, salt, cumin, lime juice, water and cilantro. Blend until smooth (if you're using a blender, you may need to stop and stir a few times to help it out). If the dip is too thick, add more water or lime juice, little by little, to thin it out. Taste and adjust seasoning, then transfer to a serving bowl. Serve warm, cold or room temperature with tortilla chips.
• *Most of the heat from the jalapeños is in the seeds and ribs, so leave those out. If you like a spicier dip, reserve the seeds and add them little by little when you're blending the dip.
