Black Bean, Chicken and Corn Bean Dip

So, we didn't have anything to make for supper last night and I ended coming up with this combination of ingredients and it turned out pretty tastey. It is a bean dip I suppose.

Black Bean, Chicken and Corn Bean Dip
1 cans black beans, rinsed
1 or 2 c. frozen corn
2 chicken breasts
1 T. cooking oil
3 cloves of garlic
1 t. chili powder
1/2 t. cumin
1/2 t. cayenne pepper
1 t. salt
juice of 1 lime
On the side:
salsa
sour cream
shredded cheese
black olives
Cook frozen corn in microwave add rinsed beans and cook for a couple more minutes. Cook up chicken breasts in oil with garlic, then add cayenne pepper, chili powder and cumin to the meat. Mix corn, beans and chicken in a large bowl and add salt and juice from one lime. Serve with your choice of bonus side items.

I mixed the salsa in with the corn, beans and chicken, I think next time I will leave it on the side, the lime makes it great!

ready to dig into!
