Ingredients for this creamy ranch dip

• Cream cheese- Softened to room temperature so it mixes easily. I like to use full fat cream cheese but you can use low fat too.
• Sour cream-  This adds a little tang to the dip and makes it creamy and dippable.
• Dry ranch mix- This ranch seasoning is where all the flavors come from, you can use regular ranch mix or you can use the zesty version or southwest version.
• Mexicorn-  I like to use the mexicorn because it has peppers in it and adds a bit more flavor. You can use just regular sweet corn if you like.  This is also perfect with fresh corn.
• Black beans-  You want to make sure these are rinsed and drained.  You can also use the seasoned black beans if you like. If you don’t like beans you can substitute sliced black olives.
• Red bell pepper-  Make sure you dice this red pepper finely.  You can use any color crunchy bell peppers you like. 
• Jalapeno pepper- Finely diced.  This jalapeño pepper adds spice to the dish, you can leave it out if you don’t like anything spicy or substitute it for green chiles. You just like a little heat to it.
