2 pounds cooked black beans

1 1/2 teaspoons chopped garlic

1 1/2 teaspoons toasted cumin seed, ground

1/4 cup cilantro leaves

1/4 cup sour cream

1/2 jalapeno, chopped

Salt and freshly ground black pepper

Put all the ingredients in a food processor and blend until smooth. Reserve some of the juice from cooking the beans, or if you are using a canned product extra water can be used if there is not enough in the can. Season, to taste, with salt and pepper.
