Mexican Black Bean Dip

© 1999 "So Easy, So Delicious"
 
(2) 19 oz cans black beans, rinsed and well drained
1 C red onion, finely chopped
1 C corn, canned or frozen, drained
1 C medium or hot salsa
1 C red pepper, chopped
1 C Cheddar cheese, grated
1 C sour cream

In a large bowl, combine all ingredients and mix well. Allow to sit for at least 1 hour, or up to a day ahead, before serving. Serve with nacho chips or pita bread triangles.

Hint: Even if you usually prefer mild or medium salsa, it’s best to use hot salsa for this recipe. To reduce fat, use low fat sour cream and low fat Cheddar cheese.
