Equipment

  • Food processor
  • Shallow serving bowl
  • Zip-top bag

Ingredients
  

  • 2 (15-ounce) cans black beans, drained and rinsed
  • 2 cloves garlic
  • Juice of 1 lime
  • 1 teaspoon ground cumin
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 cup sour cream
  • Tortilla chips, for serving

Instructions
 

  • Add the black beans, garlic, lime juice, cumin, and salt to a food processor. Blend until smooth and creamy.
  • Spread the bean mixture evenly into a shallow serving bowl or plate.
  • Spoon the sour cream into a small zip-top bag and snip off one corner to create a piping tip.
  • Pipe the sour cream in three or four concentric circles over the dip. Use a toothpick to drag lines from the center outward to form a spiderweb pattern.
  • Serve right away with tortilla chips on the side.

Notes

For the cleanest web design, let the bean mixture sit for a few minutes after blending so it firms up slightly before piping. If you want a bit more flavor, stir a pinch of chili powder into the beans before spreading. Leftovers keep in the fridge for two days in an airtight container, though the web is best made fresh.
