How to Make Five Layer Dip From Healthy Appetite

Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat.
Add 1 medium onion, chopped, and cook until softened, about 3 minutes.
Stir in 2 cloves garlic, minced, and cook for 2 minutes more.
Transfer half of the onion mixture to a food processor. Add 1 (15-ounce) can black beans (rinsed and drained), 1/2 chipotle pepper in adobo sauce (minced), 2 tablespoons lime juice, 1 teaspoon ground cumin, 2 tablespoons water, and salt to taste.
Puree until smooth.
Set aside.
Add 1 cup frozen corn to the skillet with the remaining onion mixture and cook for about 3 minutes, or until heated through.
Remove from the heat and stir in 1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro.
In a small bowl, mash 1 ripe avocado with 1 tablespoon lime juice.
In a medium bowl, combine 1 pint cherry or grape tomatoes, halved; 2 scallions, thinly sliced; and 1 jalapeño pepper, seeded and minced (optional).
Season the tomato mixture with salt and pepper to taste.
Spread the black bean dip into the bottom of an 8x8 inch glass baking or serving dish.
Top with the corn mixture, spreading it evenly. Layer with the avocado, then the tomatoes.
Top with 1/2 cup shredded cheese (cheddar, Monterey Jack, or your favorite).
Serve immediately with baked tortilla chips.
