PdfPlace the black beans in a colander. Rinse really well until the water runs clear, and then drain. (If you’d like to use dried beans, use the package instructions for hydrating and cooking them, then start with step 2).
Add the black beans to a blender, along with ¼ to ½ cup water. Process until very smooth, scraping down the sides and adding an extra splash or two of water as needed.
