Warm Layered Mexican Dip

Ingredients

• 1 can refried beans
• 8 oz softened cream cheese
• 1 pouch taco seasoning
• 1/2 can black beans, rinsed and drained
• 1 ear of corn, cooked and kernels removed (or 1/2 can whole kernel corn, drained)
• 1 cup salsa
• 2 cups shredded cheese (I used a combo of cheddar and mozzarella)
• fresh cilantro for garnish

Directions

1. In a small bowl, combine the creamed cheese and taco seasoning well with a fork.
2. Warm in the microwave for about 30 seconds and set aside. In a medium sized bowl, combine the black beans, corn and salsa.
3. Spread the refried beans evenly on the bottom of a round pie plate or an 8x8.
4. Top with the taco-cream cheese mixture and next layer the corn, black bean and salsa mixture.
5. Sprinkle shredded cheese evenly over top of layered dip. Bake in a preheated 350 degree oven for 10 minutes, or until cheese melts.
6. Garnish with cilantro and serve with your favorite tortilla chips.
