Cook bacon by the traditional stove-top method, or you can bake your bacon in the oven.
While bacon is cooking, combine black beans, corn, salsa, bell pepper, green onions, cilantro, salt, and pepper in a large bowl. Toss until just combined. Store salsa in refrigerator for at least 30 minutes before serving.*
Just before serving, stir in ¾ of the bacon. Top the black bean and corn salsa with remaining bacon pieces and serve with tortilla chips. Enjoy!
Notes
Use mild salsa for a mild black bean dip and medium salsa for a spicier dip.
Do not mix in bacon until just before serving so it stays crispy.
