Instructions
Step 1: Prep
- Combine the corn, lime juice and chopped cilantro in a mixing bowl. Add salt and pepper to taste and then set aside. Then de-seed the tomatoes, dice and set aside.
Step 2: Make the Refried Beans
- Set a large frying pan to medium-high heat and add 2 tbsp of oil and 1/4 cup of red onions. Sauté for 3-5 minutes and then add the garlic and taco seasoning. Cook for one more minute and then add the black beans, water, salsa and 1/2 tsp of salt. Reduce the heat to medium and use a fork or potato masher to mash until smooth. Allow the beans to cook for 5 minutes or until nicely thickened. Add salt and pepper to taste and then transfer to a 8x11 casserole dish (or something similiar) with high sides and set aside to cool completely.
Step 3: Mix the Sour Cream
- Mix together the sour cream, taco seasoning and smoked paprika. Stir and add salt and pepper to taste, then set aside.
Step 4: Assmeble
- When the beans are cooled, add the guacamole in an even layer on top. Make sure to spread it all the way to the sides so that each layer is visible.Next add the corn layer. I use a slotted spoon to prevent getting extra lime juice from the bowl into the dip, which can make it watery later on. Spread the corn into an even later, then add the tomato layer, then the sour cream layer. Tip: Use the back of a spoon to spread out the sour cream and be careful not to lift it up as you spread. Just glide and gently press down as you spread it on top of the tomatoes for a smooth, even layer. Top with thinly sliced radishes and chopped scaliions and chill for one hour to set....this is optonal though. I usually dig in right away but the layers hold better if it's chilled. Either way is delicious. Scoop with tortilla chips and enjoy!
