    Can you believe that Christmas is next week? Are you ready? Do you have your house decorated and presents wrapped? This time of year is always filled with complete chaos. Holiday parties, school activities, and lots and lots of cookies...and food! I just moved to Arizona a couple of months ago {as many of you already know}.....

    Southwest Black Bean Dip with smokey chipotle peppers, sweet corn, and lots of cheese will make all of your party guests happy | cookingwithcurls.com #HappiMess #DeltaLiving

    so all of my holidays have taken on a southwest flair, like with this Southwest Black Bean Dip, Grilled Southwest Turkey, Cherry Chipotle Barbecue Sauce and Chorizo Cornbread Stuffing.

    How to make Southwest Black Bean Dip:

    Preheat oven to 425 degrees. Rub inside of a 1 1/2 quart baking dish with olive oil, and line a baking sheet with foil or Silpat liner. Set aside.

    Heat 2 tablespoons olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the diced onion, stir and cook until softened and translucent, about 4 to 6 minutes.....

    Add one can of black beans, chipotle pepper*, and 3/4 cup of water. Bring to a boil and and cook until liquid is reduced by half, 2 to 3 minutes.....

    The amount of chipotle pepper and adobo sauce is up to you, and your taste-buds. I was happy with 1 Tablespoon of adobo sauce, Alex would prefer 2 diced chipotle peppers and the adobo sauce for scorching hot. 😉

    Pour mixture into the bowl of a food processor {or blender}. Add the vinegar and process until smooth.....

    If you are using a blender, remember to remove the cap and cover the hole with a towel so it doesn't explode!

    Pour mixture into a large bowl. Add the second can of black beans, corn, tomatoes, 3/4 cup of each cheese, and 1/2 of the cilantro. Mix well and season to taste with sea salt and ground pepper.....

    Notes

    • *Chipotle peppers in adobo sauce - the amount you use is determined by your desired spiciness!
    • I used 1 Tablespoon of adobo sauce and NO peppers and found it spicy but not too much to handle.
    • If you like heat, use 1 diced chipotle pepper and 1 Tablespoon of adobo sauce.
    • If you like fiery hot, use 2 chipotle peppers and 1 Tablespoon of adobo sauce.
