I totally stole this idea from somewhere on Pinterest, but I own this recipe. I added and adapted and altered so I'm claiming this one. It was a hit. A HEALTHY hit! Enjoy and you're welcome. Happy almost football season.
Ingredients:
1 can black beans, rinsed and drained
1 cup low fat sour cream
3/4 cup shredded lowfat mexican blend cheese
1 lime
1/2 cup chopped fresh cilantro
3 avocados
1 Tbsp chipotle flavored sea salt seasoning
1 Tsp ground cumin
1/4 cup diced red onion
1/2 cup diced orange bell pepper
1/2 cup diced cucumber
1/2 cup diced cherry tomatoes
1/2 cup yellow corn
1 seeded and diced jalepeno
Blue corn tortilla chips, for dipping!
Instructions:
Make the DAY OF. The juices from the vegetables tend to get a bit watery, but it is so fresh and fantastic no one will care. Use a spoon to serve onto chips.
Black bean layer first:
Using a handheld mixer, blend black beans with half lime juice, chipotle pepper seasoning, cumin and 1/4 cup of the chopped fresh cilantro. Spread into a pan (smaller than a 9x13 preferably)
Avocado layer:
Using same handheld mixer, blend three avocados with remaining lime juice and a dash of salt and pepper. Spread over black bean layer.
Spread sour cream over avocados, then sprinkle with shredded cheese. Finally, mix together all chopped vegetables along with the remaining 1/4 chopped fresh cilantro and sprinkle with more salt and pepper (and another quick squeeze of a lime if available). Spread evenly on top of all the previous layers.
Keep chilled and serve with chips. Ta da!
