Body Paint and Bean Puree

It’s officially football season. That means two things: 1) I need to buy body paint and shave my chest, 2) I’ll be making a lot of Seven Layer Dip.

It seems like a simple thing, but there are seven ways to screw it up. Let’s start at the bottom: black bean puree. I like Central Market organic black beans. Open the can, pour off some of the liquid and sprinkle in some cumin and cayenne pepper. Then, and here is the exciting part, stick an immersion blender right into the can and hit the ‘go’ button. They go from whole beans to puree in five seconds.

On top of that goes a plume of grated cheddar and salsa (I cheated and used local boys Texas-Texas Salsa). I don’t trust pre-made guacamole, so get out a fork: mashed avocado, jalapeno, lime and diced white onion and tomato. Top if off with a dab of sour cream and minced chives. Now, lets get those horns up.

Wait a second, that’s only six ingredients. Sh#t!
