    This healthy vegan black bean guacamole recipe is delicious and super easy to make. It is the perfect healthy, dairy-free dip for tortilla chips!

    If you’ve been looking for a delicious, healthy dip, look no further!

    I made this vegan guacamole as a healthy alternative to store-bought dips for tortilla chips. I absolutely love tortilla chips and I usually eat them with salsa, but I was feeling like I needed a bit of a change.

    I’ve never been a huge fan of guacamole, but after making this I actually found myself craving it more than salsa. It is so simple to make so you may not expect it to be spectacular, but I’m telling you, it is!

    In my opinion, the addition of black beans takes guacamole to the next level!

    Ingredients

    Scroll to the recipe box below for quantities and instructions.

    Here is what you will need for this black bean guacamole:

    • Avocados
    • Black beans
    • Red pepper
    • Lime juice
    • Yellow onion
    • Garlic
    • Ground cumin
    • Jalapeno pepper
    • Salt (optional)

    Of course, avocados are the base of every guacamole recipe! This recipe is made with two large avocados, but if you can't find large ones, you could use 3 smaller avocados.

    It is very important that your avocados are ripe for this recipe!

    Give them a gentle squeeze and ensure that they are fairly soft. If they are too firm, wait until they soften up before making this black bean guacamole.

    For the lime juice, you will need 2 teaspoons, which you should be able to get out of only half of one lime.

    How to make

    To make this recipe, start by prepping the chopped ingredients. I like to chop the onion, red pepper, and jalapeno quite finely so the pieces or small, but chop based on your preference.

    You'll also need to mince the garlic.

    Next, mash the black beans with a fork. They don't need to be completely mashed though (see photo).

    Next, mash the avocado to your desired texture, then mix all ingredients together in a bowl.
