FIVE LAYER DIP RECIPES

Steps:

• Heat the oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Add onions and cook until they soften, about 3 minutes. Stir in the garlic and cook for 2 minutes more.
• Put half of the onion mixture into a food processor with the black beans, chipotle pepper, 2 tablespoons of the lime juice, cumin, water and salt. Puree until smooth. Set aside.
• Add the corn to the skillet with the remaining onion mixture and cook for about 3 minutes. Remove from the heat and stir in the cilantro leaves.
• In a small bowl mash the avocado with the remaining lime juice. In a medium bowl toss together the tomatoes, scallion and jalapeno, if using. Season tomato mixture with salt and pepper, to taste.
• Spread the black bean dip into the bottom of an 8 by 8 glass baking or serving dish. Top with the corn mixture, spreading it out to form a single layer over the beans, repeat with the avocado, then the tomatoes. Top with cheese. Serve with baked chips.

Steps:

• Combine the Swiss cheese, 1/2 cup of the mayonnaise, the mustard, cream cheese, 1/4 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of black pepper in a food processor. Blend until very smooth. Remove and set aside. Rinse out the food processor bowl. 
• Combine the coleslaw, sauerkraut, vinegar, 1/4 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of black pepper in a food processor. Pulse until coarsely chopped. Remove and set aside. Rinse out the food processor bowl. 
• Add the corned beef to the food processor and pulse until coarsely chopped. 
• Whisk together the remaining 1/2 cup mayonnaise, the chili sauce, ketchup and a few grinds of black pepper for the sauce. 
• Layer the dip in your favorite 3-quart serving dish. Spread out the cheese mixture on the bottom. Then top with, in even layers, the corned beef, rye bread, sauce and sauerkraut mixture. 
• Wrap and refrigerate until chilled, at least 1 hour or overnight. Serve with rye bread toasts, rye crackers or potato chips.
