WONDERFUL SALSA WITH BLACK BEANS AND CORN
I love Chic chi's Fiesta Style Salsa and was looking for a recipe on here that was similar and I couldn't find one. I canned Wonderful Salsa, recipe #9272 last year and LOVED it, so I created my own "Fiesta" Salsa. I would like to thank Jazze22 for sharing her Wonderful Salsa recipe. I will post the recipe as I made it, I did make a couple changes from the original recipe. I hope if you try it, that you like it as much as I do. To cut the heat remove the veins and seeds. Also, wear gloves when handling the peppers.

Here, tender chicken breast is seasoned with a flavorful chili-lime rub, then skillet cooked and served atop a saute of hearty black beans, sweet corn, and fresh tomatoes warmed until barely bursting. It is made savory and given a gentle heat with onion, garlic, and a kiss of jalapeno. (If you like a lot of heat, feel free to add more jalapeno and/or more cayenne in the rub for the chicken.)

QUICK AND EASY SALSA WITH BLACK BEANS AND CORN
Yesterday was my turn to bring snacks to my Cuban salsa class -- the dance that is. After scanning dozens of recipes, I couldn't find what I wanted so I created this one. After watching my classmates tip the bowl, I decided it was worth posting. While the ingredients are familiar, the ratio of tomatoes, beans and corn is quite different from the dozens already here. So easy, its a crowd pleaser.

MEXICAN LASAGNA WITH BLACK BEANS AND CORN
Very tasty and fast. Make it a complete dinner just by adding a salad. It looks like a lot of steps, but it is easy. For a spicier dish, you can also use diced tomatoes with jalapenos. Do not use light or fat-free sour cream because it will curdle during baking. You can also add 1 cup of shredded, cooked chicken along with the black beans and corn in Steps 4 and 5.

CROCK POT RECIPE BLACK BEANS AND CORN ETC.
The chicken comes out lovely & tender, the bone in adds flavor. You may substitute Pork Country style ribs for the chicken. If you wish you may brown the thighs before adding to the pot. I say the chili flakes are optional but taste the mixture after 1 hour and then add as much chili flakes to meet the heat that you like. I like close to 2 tsps but it is up to you.

Tips:
- Choose the Right Black Beans: Opt for dried black beans over canned ones for a more flavorful and economical option. If using canned beans, rinse them thoroughly before using.
- Soak the Black Beans: Soaking the black beans overnight or for at least 4 hours helps reduce cooking time and improves digestibility. Ensure they're fully covered in water.
- Use Fresh Ingredients: Fresh corn, bell peppers, and cilantro add vibrant flavors and colors to the dish. If fresh corn is unavailable, frozen or canned corn can be used.
- Season Generously: Don't be afraid to add a generous amount of spices and seasonings to enhance the flavors. Cumin, chili powder, and paprika are essential, but feel free to adjust according to your taste.
- Cook Low and Slow: Simmering the black beans and vegetables over low heat allows the flavors to meld and develop. Avoid boiling, as it can make the beans tough.
- Top with Fresh Herbs: Before serving, sprinkle chopped cilantro or parsley over the black beans and corn for an extra burst of freshness and flavor.
Conclusion:
