Black bean dip

This is one of my favorite bean dips. It is also a bit healthier than the regular bean dips in my opinion.This is best if made ahead of time and keeps well in the refrigerator.

1 (16 oz) can black beans
1 tsp chopped garlic
1 Tbsp chopped cilantro
1 small tomato, chopped
1 tsp crushed red pepper
1/2 tsp ground cumin
1/2 lime, juiced
1/2 small onion, finely chopped
salt, to taste
pepper, to taste

Place beans, garlic, cilantro, and half of the tomatoes in a food processor and blend, leave a bit chunky. pour into a serving bowl and stir in crushed red pepper, cumin, lime juice, onion,  remaining tomatoes and salt and pepper. Mix well and cover and refrigerate for a few hours or overnight. Serve with tortilla chips and enjoy.
