Awesome and Easy Bean Dip

On Saturday we had some fellow soccer-loving friends over to watch World Cup, and my friend Heather brought a fantastic bean dip that was -- admittedly -- way more awesome (and quickly devoured) than the basic layered dip I made. Heather kindly sent me the recipe, which originated from her friend Betsy. I'm totally making this dip next weekend for another party I'm hosting. Yummy.

Betsy's Bean Dip

1 red pepper, chopped

1 can vegetarian refried beans

1 bunch scallions, chopped

1 8 oz can corn

1 cup medium salsa

handful jalapenos, diced (adjust to preferred heat)

15 med black olives, chopped

2 tsp. cumin

2 tsp. chili powder

1 cup shredded Monterey Jack cheese

3/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro

1. Mix the first nine ingredients (red pepper through chili powder) in a large, microwave-safe mixing bowl. Microwave on high for 5 minutes.

2. Add Monterey Jack cheese and cilantro. Microwave 3 more minutes and mix. Serve with tortilla chips.

Note: Can be made ahead and reheated. You also can double the recipe and freezes a batch for later.
