Black Bean and Corn Salsa
1 can rinsed black beans or equivalent cooked dry (15 oz can size)
1can sweet whole kernel corn, drained
1 can Rotel, or store brand of the tomatoes with peppers (spicy), drain
1 can, 15 oz o tomatoes
1tsp pepper
1 tsp dalt
2 tsps cjilli powder
1 tsp onion powder
Literally just toss all in a bowl, stir, and chill. This is great with chips, stuffed in with a taco or burrito, or on top of green as a salad.
My Guacamole
5 Ripe, mashed avocados, still chunky
1/2 chopped yellow onion
1 can, drained Rotel tomato and pepper blend
1 twp salt
1 tsp pepper
1/2 lime, juice squeezed in.
Combine all, avocados get more mushed but should stay with texture and piece. Once done, leave one e of the avocado pits in the bowl to help reduce browning, spread flat and squeeze other half of lime on top, both to prevent browning, and as more flavor once people start eating, cover until serving. Of course you can dice your own peppers and tomatoes particularly if you grow your own. I find this is an easy and affordable way and the results are darn good. There was a small amount left and I ate it on toast on Sunday morning. Had I been a nicer mom, I would have saved for DD2
I love a black bean & corn salsa, but my husband prefers them without either. I'm hoping my jalapenos finish ripening so we can make pico de gallo. Yum. I use the Alton Brown guacamole recipe, which is pretty basic, and always a hit.
ReplyDeleteI love pico de gallo-if it does not have cilantro. I just love most guacs as does my butt.
DeleteThe blach bean and corn salsa sounds so good and refreshing. I'll have to make it soon as I have all of the ingredients on hand.
ReplyDeleteYes, loaded with stuff that comes in canned goods, but it is a versatile and easy take along if you need to bring something. Throw a bag of chips and it is a party ready to go.
DeleteWell this sounds and looks delicious. I guess I am a peasant because I just make plain old salsa. I am going to add the beans and corn and up my game. Thanks for the inspiration.
ReplyDeleteI found the recipe 15 ears ago, recipe loosely, for my nieces wedding shower. She is also vegan, and this was when my daughter was a vegetarian, but not vegan. She loved it, and it was added as a regular to our appetizers and side dishes.
DeleteSounds yummy!! My daughter also loves making vegan meals, though we also eat fish and chicken. She made Chinese style eggplant with tofu last night.
ReplyDeleteI love adding garlic to my guacamole - is it weird? ;)
