Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 1 can Black beans, rinsed and drained
  • 1 can Black eyed peas, rinsed and drained
  • 1.5 cups Corn, drained (or 1 can)
  • 1-2 cups Cherry tomatoes, chopped
  • 1 small handful Red onion, finely chopped
  • 1 each Bell pepper, diced (any color)
  • 1 each Jalapeno, minced (optional)
  • 1 handful Cilantro, chopped
For Creaminess
  • 1 cup Sour cream (or a blend with Greek yogurt for lighter version)
  • 2 tablespoons Mayonnaise (for smoother texture)
Seasoning
  • 2 tablespoons Taco seasoning (store-bought or homemade)
  • to taste Salt and pepper
  • 1 each Lime juice, fresh (to taste)

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Rinse and drain the black beans and black-eyed peas very well.
  2. Chop all the veggies, keeping them roughly the same size for even distribution in the dip.
Mixing
  1. In a large bowl, stir together sour cream, mayo, lime juice, and taco seasoning. Adjust the flavors as needed.
  2. Add the rinsed beans, peas, corn, tomatoes, onion, peppers, jalapeno, and cilantro, stirring until everything is evenly coated.
Chilling
  1. Chill for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together.

Notes

For a less watery dip, consider scooping out some of the seeds from juicy tomatoes before chopping. This dip can last in the fridge for 3 to 4 days in a sealed container.
