FRESH BLACK BEAN AND CORN SALSA



Fresh Black Bean and Corn Salsa image

There are a lot of black bean and corn salsa recipes, but I think this one is the freshest tasting salsa because of the frozen corn and that the corn is still frozen when you add it to the salsa.

Time 20m

Yield 8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 9

2 (16 ounce) cans black beans, rinsed
1 (24 ounce) package frozen white and yellow corn
1 (1 ounce) package taco seasoning mix
1/2 cup very finely chopped red onion
1/2-1 very finely chopped jalapeno
2 -3 large tomatoes, chopped
1 bunch cilantro, chopped very fine
2 limes, juice of
2 avocados (optional)

Steps:

  • First, mix the frozen corn and the taco mix - this will coat the corn and give it time to thaw while you get everything else together.
  • Then prepare and add the other ingredients and mix gently.
  • The corn will help keep the salsa cool while you are taking it where ever it needs to go.
  • I try to make 2 or 3 hours ahead so the taco mix can do it's thing.
