What’s In This Corn and Black Bean Dip Recipe?
See the recipe card below for full ingredient amounts and recipe instructions!
- Corn – you can use fresh, canned, or frozen! Whatever you have on hand. If corn is in season, aim for fresh – but if not, then I like to use frozen sweet corn which has a better flavor than canned.
- Canned Black Beans
- Salsa: This salsa is our absolute favorite… and I like that you can re-use the mason jars when you are done with the salsa to can other foods! It’s like a extra bonus.
- Melty Cheese: You can use creamy Velveeta for this recipe, or another melty cheese alternative. You can use a plant-based cheese for a vegan substitute as well.
- Chili Powder: for a really nice flavor in this dip – the chili powder isn’t spicy but will give you a rich and bright flavor.
- Cumin: also adds a really nice flavor to this dip – cumin has a lightly smokey flavor found in a lot of chili recipes.
- Red Chili Pepper Flakes: for a little heat! if you don’t like spice, you can absolutely skip them in this recipe.
- Jalapeno Peppers: if you don’t have fresh jalapenos, jarred sliced jalapenos are a fantastic addition to the dip!
- Cilantro, Roasted Red Pepper, and Olives to top!
