You all thought I forgot, didn't you?! I wouldn't forget about my favorite night of the week ;) With the Superbowl today I have been working on perfecting my snack list. I personally am not all that into football, however my dad loves it. Because we love love my dad, my sister and I thought it would be nice to have a Superbowl party for the family to get together.
Of course, since she doesn't really cook the menu was left up too me! Which of course, I don't mind at all. I decided to do a chicken wing dip (the Recipe is posted here: Chicken wing dip), Pizza, Guacamole and I wanted to do a black bean dip. My dad loves dips and salsa which include black beans, corn, cilantro and lime. They are some of his favorite flavors for dipping. He has not made a warm one yet, so I thought that would be a nice twist. I searched the Internet and came up with some good ideas. When I complied them and added some imagination this is what I came up with.
Black bean dip, with a kick:
1 can cooked black beans (rinsed and drained) OR 1-1/4 cup cooked black beans
1 cup frozen corn
1/4 red bell pepper finely chopped
1/2 jalapeno pepper very finely diced
1 medium tomato chopped
1 small onion chopped
1/2 tsp fresh ground pepper
1/2 tsp cumin
1-1/2 tsp chili powder
2 tsp cilantro (paste, or fresh, only 1 tsp is using dried)
1 Tbsp fresh lime juice
1/2 cup mild salsa
1/2 tsp sea salt or to taste
1 large clove of garlic minced
In a medium sauce pan saute onions on medium heat until soft.
Add black beans, corn, jalapeno and garlic. Simmer on low heat until everything is heated through.
Add cumin, chili powder, ground pepper and sea salt, red pepper, tomato, cilantro, lime juice and salsa. simmer for additional 2 minutes.
Simmer for 3-4 minutes then remove from heat. Let sit 10-15 minutes for flavors to blend well.
Garnish with sour cream and shredded cheese.
Serve warm with hint of lime corn chips (or regular if your prefer!)
Hope you have enjoy the game!
