Instructions: Warm the beans in the water. Heat the oil in a small skillet. Add the scallion and spices and cook over medium hat until tender, about 10 minutes. Stir in the cilantro and turn off the heat.

Coarsely puree the beans, scallion mixture, and chile in a food processor.

Taste; if you want it hotter, add more chile in small increments. Add lime juice and salt to sharpen the flavors.
