This smoked paprika bean dip was the perfect creamy textured dip when it was served warm right out of the blender. The beans were delightful and took on an entire new taste with the smoked paprika added to them in this dip. I enjoyed my dip right out of the bowl with a spoon but it would have been perfect served with an array of crackers too.
This recipe uses dried mayocoba beans. However, you could also use white beans or navy beans. For this recipe you will need to use a food processor to create a smooth bean dip. It has the consistency of hummus. The smokey paprika and garlic give this bean dip a lot of flavor!
