Black Bean Corn Salsa

This is a fairly versatile dip. You can add this to seven layer bean dip, use as a regular dip along side salsa, queso or guac, add it into tacos or enchiladas, etc. When I make enchiladas I serve them with a huge helping of this on the side - I am not sure why I do not put it inside the actual enchilada as it inevitably gets mixed in and eaten with the enchilada. I suppose it is enchilada nostalgia. If you want to make shrimp enchiladas leave out the black beans and tomatoes. This is also the ONLY thing that I will eat bell pepper in. All of the ingredients listed below should be added in quantities according to taste preferences.

Black Bean Corn Salsa

  • Black Beans
  • Red onion - small dice
  • minced garlic formed into paste (no more than 2 cloves is necessary)
  • Red Bell Pepper - small dice
  • Sweet Corn
  • Tomato - seeded, juiced, and diced
  • Lime Juice
  • Avocado
  • Red wine vinegar
  • Spices: powdered garlic, cumin, cayenne, adobo, salt 
  • Cilantro

Combine all ingredients in a bowl and mix well. Add seasoning as desired.
