Dip made from canned beans and cilantro is a simple yet incredibly aromatic dish of Mexican cuisine. It's a light and quick sauce that reflects the diverse flavors of Latin America. Historically, beans are one of the key ingredients in Mexican gastronomy, while cilantro adds a fresh, slightly citrus note. Salsa adds spiciness and green onions provide a gentle sharpness. Paired with crispy corn chips, this dip becomes an ideal snack for parties or cozy gatherings. It can be used not only as a sauce for nachos but also as an accompaniment to burritos, tacos or even spread on toast. The flavor is rich, slightly spicy and refreshing, while the texture is soft yet pleasantly contrasted with crunchy chips. This recipe embodies the simplicity and sophistication of Mexican cuisine.
