    Have You Tried This Dip It’s Amazing - Hot Black Bean Tex Mex Dip

    That was the cry from a satisfied guest
    We were holding a celebration drinks party for my Daughter’s Graduation
    I was on food,
    I made some of the usual Suspects
    Chicken Sandwiches, Spinach Puffs, Mushroom Tarts, Guacamole, Blinis with Creme Fraiche and Smoked Salmon
    We thought we should try something new... A Hot Bean Dip perhaps?
    So I surfed the Net and found this recipe on the Allrecipes site
    This is a keeper and we will make it again
    It’s not the prettiest dish but look at the wonderful ingredients

    So you will need
    1 400 gm can black beans, rinsed and drained
    1 teaspoon vegetable oil
    1/2 cup chopped onion
    2 cloves garlic, minced
    1/2 cup fresh corn kernels
    3/4 cup chopped tomatoes
    1/2 cup mild picante sauce
    1 teaspoon ground cumin
    1 teaspoon chili powder
    1/2 cup shredded Tasty cheese
    1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro
    1 tablespoon fresh lime juice 



    Place black beans in a medium size mixing bowl,
    partially mash beans -- beans should remain a little chunky.
    Add cumin
    In a medium size frying pan, heat oil over a medium heat. 
    Stir in onion and garlic and sauté for 4 minutes.
    Mix beans, corn, tomato, picante sauce, and chili powder into the frying pan; 
    Cook for 5 minutes or until thickened.
    Remove the pan from the heat,
    Mix in cheese, cilantro and lime juice; 
    Stir until cheese is melted. 

    Corn chips best on the side
