Description

The most requested recipe in my arsenal. Make it then leave a message on my wire telling me you want to marry me.

Ingredients

  • 4 cans Corn (15 Oz.), Drained
  • 1 can Chopped Chilies (4 Oz), Drained
  • 1 can Chopped Jalapenos (4 Oz), Drained
  • 1 can Black Beans (15 Oz. Can), Drained And Rinsed
  • 1 whole Red Bell Pepper, chopped
  • 1 bunch Scallions, Chopped
  • 1 cup Sour Cream
  • 1 bag Finely Grated Mexican Cheese (8 Oz)
  • ½ bunches Fresh Cilantro, Coarsely Chopped (or To Taste)

Preparation

Drain corn, chilies and jalapenos. Put in a large bowl with the beans and tilt the bowl on its side while you chop the other veggies. Add the rest of the veggies and drain – there will be liquid accumulated in the bowl. Stir in the sour cream and grated cheese. Add the cilantro last.

Refrigerate before serving if you have time and the self-control to keep from eating it.

You must eat this dip with Fritos Scoops or lime Tostitos. It’s like the law or something.

Making today for first time. Hint for draining….salad spinner. I use mine for all kinds of things. Works great.

I just found this recipe over the weekend! I was looking for a side dish to make for a small spring get together we were going to. It was fantastic but made a boat load even after our hostess kept a large bowl full for herself!

I wanted to let you know what I did with the leftovers. I turned on my crock pot, added chicken tenderloins, a packet of taco seasoning and the leftover CORN DIP! Result: AMAZING! We ate it in taco shells and in “taco” salads TWICE in the same day, it was THAT good! I just thought I’d share an idea for leftovers… if you end up with any!

1) I want to marry you.
2) This makes a gigantic amount! I halved the recipe (although I did use the whole can of black beans) and I added a little splash of lime juice because it needed using up.
3) This recipe is fabulous as is, and the only change I would possibly make would be to use frozen corn and maybe some chopped water chestnuts for more crunch.

I made this as an appetizer for 4 people, we downed a dish of it before dinner and I forgot to give them some to take home. Oh dearie me, to be stuck with leftover dip…lol
I had it for breakfast ..yum.
And yes, it has to be a law that it be served with lime chips.

This dip is one of the best cold dips I have ever made and eaten. My guests absolutely love me because of it.

I made this last night and as promised I couldn’t stop sampling. I didn’t have any cilantro so I added some cumin. Very tasty indeed.

This is an amazing dip! The recipe makes a ton so I brought this to a pot luck event. EVERYONE loved it and I didn’t have any to bring back home afterwards, though I wouldn’t have minded. My husband has requested this several times just to have on hand for snacking. I did add lime juice to the recipe and the hint of lime chips are a MUST!

This is a really good summer recipe. I wil say it needs lots of salt and pepper to give it some zip. I used garlic salt, but I’m just sick like that. :) Also, I used twice as much sour cream as the recipe called for. The jalapenos add zing, but not too much. It’s a good recipe for everyone!

I am making this yet again! I am sure that I have made this 2 dozen times or more. I make it for every function we go to and sometimes just because in between. It is by far our favorite dip. I change it up just a bit and use frozen corn (prefer the taste), fresh jalapeno (because its easier to find here) and if I can find a good avocado I dice that up too with a squirt of lime on top. A couple of other things I do to deal with the liquid is thaw the corn in a mesh strainer over a bowl in the fridge over night. I also rinse the beans let them sit in a strainer then take a few paper towels and gently pat them till they are drier (they will never get all the way dry). Thanks for sharing such an easy and great recipe. :D

This is a keeper! Made it for the first time this morning, with some of the additions suggested by others. I stirred ~1/2 pkg taco seasoning into sour cream before adding to the drained veggies. Added salt to taste after it was all put together except for the cilantro. Added a little lime juice, and a sprinkle of chipotle chile powder. I didn’t have any canned jalapenos, so I used two cans of diced green chiles and 10-12 jalapeno slices from a jar, chopped fine. It really needed the zing of the jalapenos, and next time I make it I’ll get a can per the recipe.

These flavors combine to make one delicious and “different” dip! And the author is right about the lime corn chips – yum!

A delicious pairing of many tastes. Everyone who tries it loves it. I love the ease of prep, the freshness of the cilantro, the bite of the jalapeno, and the creaminess offered by the sour cream. Thanks so much for sharing!
