1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Lightly coat a large baking sheet with canola oil
2. To make tortilla chips, brush each tortilla with a small amount of canola oil and stack the tortillas on top of each other. Cut the stack in half then into quarters. Place triangles oiled side up on a baking sheet. Sprinkle with salt and bake for 8 to 12 minutes or until crisp.
3. To make the dip, drain the beans through a colander over a bowl, reserving ¼ of the liquid. Place the beans, oil, garlic, lime juice, salt, and sun-dried tomatoes in a food processor and process until the mixture resembles coarse meal. Add the reserved bean liquid and process into a smooth paste. If the mixture is too thick, add water until desired consistency reached.
