Ingredients
  

For the Dip:
  • 1 can black beans drained and rinsed
  • 1 can white beans (Great Northern or cannellini), drained and rinsed
  • 1 can white shoepeg corn drained
  • 3/4 cup salsa verde
  • 2 cups shredded Colby Jack cheese
  • 4-6 Roma tomatoes (chopped, squeeze liquid out before chopping)
  • to taste garlic salt (about 1/2 teaspoon)
  • 1 Avocado (diced)

Equipment

  • Mixing Bowl
  • Spatula
  • Measuring cups
  • Can opener
  • Knife and cutting board

Method
 

Instructions:
  1. Start by draining and rinsing the black beans and white beans. This step is crucial to remove excess salt and preservatives. Drain the shoepeg corn as well. Next, chop the Roma tomatoes and make sure to squeeze out the excess liquid to avoid a watery dip.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, combine the drained black beans, white beans, and white shoepeg corn. Gently stir to mix these ingredients together, making sure not to mash the beans too much.
  3. Pour in the salsa verde and mix well until all the beans and corn are coated. The salsa verde will infuse the beans with a tangy flavor that complements the dish perfectly.
  4. Add the shredded Colby Jack cheese to the bowl and gently fold it into the bean mixture. This cheese will melt beautifully when baked, creating a creamy texture.
  5. Now, carefully fold in the chopped Roma tomatoes. Sprinkle in the garlic salt, adjusting the seasoning to your taste. This is where you can really customize the flavor to your liking!
  6. Transfer the mixture into a baking dish and spread it evenly. Bake in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for about 20-25 minutes, or until the cheese is bubbly and slightly golden.
  7. Once out of the oven, let it cool for a few minutes. Top with diced avocado for a fresh touch. Serve warm with tortilla chips or fresh veggies, and enjoy the delightful flavors of your Black and White Bean Dip!

Notes

  • Feel free to substitute cheese with Monterey Jack or cheddar for variety.
  • Use any type of white beans, like navy or cannellini, based on your preference.
  • Try different salsas like traditional salsa or pico de gallo for a unique twist.
  • Add diced jalapeños or a dash of cayenne pepper for extra heat.
