Emphasis on “the.” My college roommate introduced me to this amazing bean dip and it’s been a favorite of mine ever since—partly because it reminds me of my best friends, but mostly because it’s effing delicious. A bean dip to end all bean dips, I give you the bean dip.
The serving size of this recipe is a shit load (that’s a technical term). You will literally be eating it for breakfast, lunch and dinner for a solid week. And you’ll love every second of it. I made it this year for the Super Bowl, and thank the lo’ because it was the only good thing to come out of that disappointment (I’m a Pats fan).
INGREDIENTS
- 2 cans black beans, rinsed
- 2 cans black eyed peas, rinsed
- 2 cans mexicorn, drained
- 1 can of rotell
- 4 roma tomatos
- 1 red pepper
- 1 green pepper
- 1 red onion

- 1 lime, juiced
- ¼ cup pickled jalapenos, diced
- ½ cup olive oil
- 1/3 cup sugar
- ½ cup red wine
- ½ tspn garlic powder
DIRECTIONS
- Chop everything up and mix it together in a bowl. It’s not rocket science.
- Stir olive oil, sugar, red wine and garlic powder in a separate bowl. Mix into the rest of the ingredients. Optional: Chug the remaining wine left in the bottle.
- Serve with chips or eat it with your hands (it’s that good).
My chipped, half-removed nail polish makes this last picture extra special.
What is rotell?
It’s basically canned tomatoes that have been chopped up with green chilies and spices. You can find it in the ethnic/international foods aisle at most grocery stores (or easily make do without it). I think on the can it appears as RO*TEL.
Nicole, you crack me up! I love how you write … sounds a bit like me. I look forward to trying some of your food and work outs!
Thanks so much! 🙂
For red wine…did you uses specific kind? I.e Cabernet Sauvignon/merlot
I’ve used all different kinds and haven’t noticed a difference (you won’t taste the wine). But Pinot Noir is what I always keep around my apartment, so that’s usually my go-to for this recipe.
Nicole, I just stumbled on your blog last week and I am loving it! do you have the nutritional info / serving size for the dip?
Thank you–so glad you found me! 🙂 I don’t know the nutritional info, but this site is accurate for calculating that: http://nutritiondata.self.com/ Only downside is you have to add up each ingredient so it takes a bit of time.
