This is a good recipe. I omitted the corn, it actually takes away from the dip.

Great fresh recipe for an old stand by taco dip! The freshly pureed black beans (vs. refried beans from can, the fresh lime juice, fresh cilantro all contribute to make the classic dip appetizer worthy of any party or celebration. I made the recipe as is (except doubled the recipe and put in a 13x9 dish, was serving 30 guests, used fresh corn on the cob AND added probaby about a teaspoon or two of Penzey's Smoked Spanish paprika to the black bean puree because I add it to just about everything I cook, it's fabulous!. It is a bit time consuming (and I'm a cook, but I've only made it twice and the second time was easier, and should be even easier the next time. If you want to make ahead of time, you can do the bean and corn layer. I chopped the tomatoes w/ scallions but left them in a separate bowl until just before serving and made the guacamole layer just before serving so it didn't turn brown. This recipe will not disappoint.

Wow! This was really good! My husband and daughter both rated it a 10 out of 10 and you have no idea how hard it is to get them to agree on anything! This is a keeper.

Made this for an open house yesterday and everyone loved it. The chipotle gives it a great smoky flavor. My husband asked why I hadn't made this sooner--"It's FABULOUS!" he said. Very flavorful and pretty to look at. So much better than the premade 5 layer dips, and you don't miss the sour cream. Thanks Ellie!

This recipe is exceptional. NO deprivation at all. I dont understand the reviews saying it took time etc.. Its simple. I am going to buy a clear glass bowl just for this dip.It can be made ahead and just tastes better. Definately double the recipe. I love you Ellie!

I doubled the recipe and put it in a 13 x 9 inch dish for a neighborhood party. Everyone loved it and wanted the recipe! It does take a bit of time to make, but is well worth it. Also, it's nice being able to tell people that it's a relatively healthy dish. It tastes so fresh and authentic and not heavy like some layered Mexican dips do. This recipe is a keeper!
