This spicy Mexican sauce can be served as a hot or cold dip, or used to enhance tortilla filling, gorditas, and tostaditas.

- 1 cup (240 ml) vegetable stock, or chicken stock
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon chili powder
- ¼ cup (60 ml) water
Directions
- Heat a sauté pan over medium heat. Add the olive oil garlic, black beans, jalapeno, red bell pepper and yellow bell pepper. Sauté for 5 minutes. Set aside.
- Place vegetable stock, cumin, chili powder and water along with half of the sautéed mixture into the Vitamix container and secure the lid.
- Start the blender on its lowest speed, then quickly increase to its highest speed, using the tamper to press ingredients toward the blades.
