BLACK BEAN, AVOCADO, AND CORN SALSA
This is one of my most requested recipes. People who don't like avocado, red onion, or spicy food love this corn salsa.

Steps:
- Stir first 4 ingredients in bowl to blend. Season salsa with salt and pepper.
- Preheat oven to 400°F. Spray baking sheet with nonstick spray. Arrange tortillas in single layer on sheet. Bake until tortillas are golden, about 15 minutes.
- Meanwhile, heat 3 teaspoons oil in large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add onion and sauté until golden, about 5 minutes. Add garlic and cumin; stir 30 seconds. Stir in tomatoes with juice, beans, and chiles; bring to boil. Reduce heat; simmer until almost all liquid is absorbed, stirring frequently, about 8 minutes. Season to taste with salt.
- Heat 1 teaspoon oil in another large nonstick skillet over medium heat. Crack eggs into skillet; fry until whites are just set but yolks are still soft, about 4 minutes. Sprinkle with salt and pepper.
- Place 1 warm tortilla on each of 4 plates. Divide bean mixture among tortillas. Top each with 1 egg; sprinkle with cheese and lettuce. Top with salsa; serve.
- *Chipotle chiles canned in a spicy tomato sauce, sometimes called adobo, are available at Latin American markets, specialty foods stores, and some supermarkets.
COTTAGE CHEESE, AVOCADO, AND BLACK BEAN SALSA
This may look and sound sort of bad, but let me tell you, there isn't a tastier, nutritious, salsa-like dip to hold you over while you wait for dinner. Funny enough, this was created as an experiment with leftovers, and now I have over 15 friends making it on a regular basis! This is a great recipe that can be stored in the refrigerator for several days for a quick, anytime snack. (Frozen corn, heated and cooled in the same manner, may be used in place of the corn on the cob.)

Steps:
- Place corn on the cob in a microwave safe dish with 1/4 inch of water. Cover, and microwave on medium high for 4 minutes, or until tender. Cool under running water, and slice kernels from cob. Set aside.
- Cook the black beans in a small saucepan over medium heat until warm and tender, about 10 minutes. Strain, and rinse under cold water to remove liquid and excess sodium. Set aside.
- Place the cottage cheese in a mixing or serving bowl. Peel, pit, and dice the avocado into bite size pieces, and add to the cottage cheese. Cut the tomatoes in half lengthwise, remove seeds, and dice into bite size pieces. Add to the cottage cheese along with the corn, black beans, and salsa. Stir until well blended. Cover and refrigerate until ready to serve. Serve with tortilla chips, if desired.

Tips:
- Choose ripe avocados: Ripe avocados are creamier and have a better flavor. Look for avocados that are dark green or black in color, and that yield to gentle pressure when squeezed.
- Use fresh cilantro: Fresh cilantro adds a bright, citrusy flavor to the salsa. If you don't have fresh cilantro, you can substitute dried cilantro, but use only about 1/4 of the amount, as dried cilantro is more concentrated.
- Don't over-mix the salsa: Over-mixing the salsa will make it mushy. Stir the ingredients together gently, just until they are combined.
- Serve the salsa immediately: Black bean and avocado salsa is best served immediately, while the avocado is still fresh. However, you can make the salsa ahead of time and store it in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.
Conclusion:
Black bean and avocado salsa is a delicious and versatile dish that is perfect for any occasion. It is easy to make, and it can be served as an appetizer, a side dish, or a topping for tacos, burritos, or nachos. The combination of black beans, avocado, and cilantro creates a flavorful and satisfying salsa that is sure to please everyone.
