Ingredients

Scale
  • 3 ripe avocados, peeled and pitted
  • 1 small red onion, finely diced
  • 1–2 chipotle peppers in adobo sauce, minced
  • 2 garlic cloves, minced
  • 1 medium lime, juiced
  • 1/2 cup fresh cilantro, chopped (optional)
  • Salt, to taste
  • Freshly ground black pepper, to taste
  • 1 small tomato, seeded and diced (optional)
  • 1 can (15 oz) black beans, drained and rinsed
  • 1/2 cup cornmeal
  • 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese (optional)
  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • 1/2 teaspoon cumin
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil, plus more for brushing

Instructions

  1. Prepare the black bean dough for chips: Drain and rinse black beans thoroughly. In a food processor, pulse the beans until mostly smooth but still slightly chunky. Add cornmeal, Parmesan (if using), smoked paprika, cumin, salt, and 2 tablespoons olive oil. Pulse until the mixture forms a thick, sticky dough. If too wet, add more cornmeal a tablespoon at a time until it holds together well. This takes about 10 minutes.
  2. Shape and bake the chips: Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Scoop small spoonfuls (about a tablespoon each) of the black bean dough onto the sheet. Flatten each mound into a thin, round chip about 3 inches wide. Brush lightly with olive oil. Bake for 15-18 minutes, flipping halfway through, until edges are crisp and slightly browned. Remove and let cool on a wire rack.
  3. Make the guacamole: While chips bake, scoop avocado flesh into a medium bowl. Mash to desired consistency. Stir in diced red onion, minced garlic, chopped chipotle peppers, lime juice, and cilantro. Season with salt and pepper. Add diced tomato last and mix gently.
  4. Combine and serve: Transfer guacamole to a serving bowl. Arrange black bean chips around it or in a separate bowl for dipping. Garnish guacamole with smoked paprika or chopped cilantro.

Notes

Add cornmeal gradually to get the right dough consistency for chips. Flip chips halfway through baking for even crisping. Let chips cool completely for maximum crunch. Press plastic wrap directly on guacamole surface to prevent browning. For vegan option, omit Parmesan or substitute with nutritional yeast. Chips can be pan-fried instead of baked for a different texture.
