Corn chips with spicy bean spread

So I got home tonight and had no idea what to make for dinner....and then I found inspiration and this dish was created!  Dont ask how I think of these things cause I have no idea I just put a bunch of things together and when they turn out I share them with all of you! :)

So first you are going to need to start with boiling the beans....you need to boil a 1/2-1 cup of kidney beans and the same amount of black beans (the portion depends on how much you want).
While these are on the stove cooking you will need to add:
3/4 cup of corn meal (always buy organic corn because corn is one of the biggest GMOs, also beware that alot of people have corn sensitivities due to this)
11/2 cups of water
1tbsp of spices (I used an Italian mix but you can use thyme or rosemary or cumin or basil or a mix)
2tsp of salt (i always prefer sea salt or pink himalayan)
2tbsp of sesame oil (use an oil that you can heat such as sesame or grapeseed, please dont use olive oil its not meant to be heated)
to a pot and boil on med heat until it becomes thick and a lil doughy (5-10 mins)
preheat your oven to 400
on a greased cookie sheet take a spoon full of corn dough and press it into a circle (i used my fingers) and put as many of these circles on your baking sheet as you can just dont let them touch (press pretty thin to about a half a centimeter thin if they are too thick they will take longer to cook and may not cook all the way through)
now put them into bake until the edges start to brown and they seem to be cooked through in the middle (15-25 mins)
as your baking your whole batch of corn chips you put together the spread (assuming that your beans have finished cooking by now
in a food processor add:
your cooked beans (rinse the beans in cold water after cooking so the heat doesnt disturb the oil or plastic from the food processor)
3tbsp of olive oil
2tsp of salt (same as above applies)
1 small chopped onion ( i use cooking onions)
1 big clove of garlic (either minced or I use a garlic press)
1/4tsp chili powder
1/4tsp cayenne pepper
2tbsp of nutritional yeast
then processes it until it gets thick into a spread and everything is mixed in (approx 5 mins)
Then when chips are done spread on the chips and enjoy!
CAUTION this is a spicy dish and a diaphoretic so have some tissues and some water handy!
