Caramelized Onion Black Bean Dip With Bat Chips Recipes

CARAMELIZED ONION BLACK BEAN DIP WITH BAT CHIPS

Steps:

• For the Dip:
• First caramelize the onion. Slice it into long, thin strips. Heat 1 tbsp Colavita Olive Oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the onion to the pan and sauté, stirring only occasionally until the onion starts to wilt and turn brown, about 20 minutes.
• Add the Colavita Balsamic Vinegar to the onion and sauté another 5 minutes. Remove from the heat.
• In a food processor or blender, purée the caramalized onion together with the remaining ingredients until smooth.
• Add more Colavita Olive Oil if the mixture seems dry.
• Garnish with parsley, and a dollop of sour cream.
• Serve with corn chips or special bat-shaped tortilla chips.* See instructions below.
• For the Bat Chips:
• Cut bat shapes out of each flour tortilla. Each flour tortilla should give you 6 to 8 shapes.
• Mix together the smoked paprika, salt and pepper in a small bowl.
• Preheat your oven to 350°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
• Brush the tortilla pieces with Colavita Olive Oil, and place them on the prepared baking sheet.
• Sprinkle them with the spice mixture.
• Place the pieces in the oven and bake for 10 minutes or until they are crisp. Remove from the oven and allow to cool for 2 minutes.
