Directions:
Heat the olive oil over medium heat in a small saucepan.

Add the onions, garlic and jalapeño pepper and cook about ten minutes, stirring occasionally, until very soft. Do not brown.

Transfer the cooked onion mixture to a blender or food processor and add the beans, salt, cumin, lime juice, Sri Racha hot sauce, water and about half of the chopped cilantro, reserving the rest for garnish.

Blend until smooth, stopping and stirring as needed. Dip should be not too thick, not too thin.

If too thick, make dip thinner by adding a splash of lime juice or water, and blend to desired consistency.

Serve room temperature with tortilla chips and salsa.
