This Caramelized Black Bean Spread is good as a dip, a spread or you can use it in tacos and burritos.
It has caramelized onion to give it depth of flavour but also uses a signature Mexican flavour – cocoa!
Mexican chocolate is famous and traditional. It is often in the more complex mole sauces.
It adds an interesting note to this spread as well.
I served it as a dip/spread with this Overnight No Knead Focaccia Bread.
I also used it as a layer in these Beef/Black Bean Quesadillas.
