SUUUUPER DIP!

My version of refried beans 

2 cans of bush's chili beans
3 cloves of garlic, crushed and minced
1/2 stick of butter
1 small can of chicken stock

1/2 package bacon, cut (if lightly frozen, will chop easier before cooking)
1/2 red onion, diced finely
1 teaspoon of salt
2 teaspoons of pepper
1/2 teaspoon of cumin

Melt the butter and add the garlic, bacon and onion. Once onions are translucent and the bacon is cooked through add the beans, juice and all. Cook over medium low heat. Once it starts to bubble mash and stir the beans, as it thickens slowly add in small amounts of the chicken stock, let it cook and when it thickens again add more chicken stock. Continue doing so until the chicken stock is gone. Add the spices. Cook until thick.

Salsa Layer (this is where I love my Ninja)

5 tomatoes
3 cloves of garlic
1/2 red onion
1/4 cup of cilantro (leaves stripped and chopped)
juice of 1 lime
zest of the lime
1 teaspoon of salt
1 teaspoon of pepper
2-5 jalepeno peppers, sliced in half and seeded (big difference depending on what you can handle)
1 teaspoon of cumin
1 teaspoon of chipolte chili powder

Chop up all ingredients and combine and enjoy! I love to put the onion, garlic and jalepenos and chop in the Ninja then add all other ingredients and try not to drink it.

Sour Cream

1 cup of sour cream
2 teaspoons of Taco seasoning
1 tablespoon of mayo

Combine above ingredients.

Guacamole

6 tomatoes chopped into small bite size pieces
2 cloves of garlic smashed and chopped fine
2 green onions, finely chopped
6 avocados peeled, pitted and halved
juice of 1 lemon
1 teaspoon of salt
1 teaspoon of pepper

Mash the avocados with the lemon juice, add the salt and pepper. Stir in remaining ingredients. If you want stir in a little of the above salsa for a little different taste.

Corn

1 small package of frozen corn
2 teaspoons of chipolte chili powder
1 teaspoon of salt
2 teaspoons of pepper
1/2 stick of butter
1 clove of garlic smashed and chopped fine

Combine all the ingredients and cook until the corn is defrosted and the butter is fully melted.

You can use all of these as separate dishes or layer them for the SUPER DIP! I love this served with blue corn tortilla chips or On The Border Chips. Top with olives.
