Categories     Vegetable

Time 35m

Yield 6-8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 (16 ounce) package frozen chopped spinach
1 small onion, chopped
1 -2 tablespoon olive oil
4 ounces cream cheese, softened
1 (15 ounce) can black beans, drained
1 (10 1/2 ounce) can Rotel Tomatoes
1 (11 ounce) can corn niblets (I use Green Giant Mexi-Corn)
1 cup cheddar cheese, shredded
2 tablespoons cumin
1 teaspoon chili powder
salt & pepper

Steps:

  • Saute the chopped onion in olive oil, add the frozen spinach and cook about 10 minutes.
  • Add salt and pepper to taste.
  • Add the Rotel tomatoes, cumin, chili powder.
  • Cook about 5 more minutes and then add cream cheese. Stir frequently while it melts.
  • Add black beans and corn, mix well, then add cheddar cheese.
  • Stir until the cheese is melted.
  • If the mixture gets too thick, add milk to thin it out to desired consistency.
  • Serve with tortilla chips or as a side dish.

Tips:

  • Use high-quality ingredients: Fresh, flavorful ingredients will make a big difference in the taste of your dip. Look for ripe avocados, juicy tomatoes, and crisp vegetables.
  • Don't overcook the black beans: Overcooked beans will be mushy and bland. Cook them just until they are tender, about 10 minutes.
  • Mash the avocados until they are smooth: This will help the dip to have a creamy texture.
  • Add the spices and seasonings to taste: Start with a small amount and add more to taste. You can always add more, but it's hard to take them out.
  • Chill the dip before serving: This will help the flavors to meld and will make the dip more refreshing.
  • Serve the dip with a variety of dippers: Tortilla chips, pita chips, vegetable crudités, and crackers are all great options.

Conclusion:

Southwestern black bean dip is a delicious and versatile appetizer that is perfect for any occasion. It is easy to make, can be made ahead of time, and is always a crowd-pleaser. Whether you are hosting a party or just looking for a healthy and satisfying snack, this dip is sure to be a hit.
