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.

Categories     Black Beans

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.

SPICY BEAN AND CORN SALSA SIDE



Spicy Bean and Corn Salsa Side image

Our whole family loves this quick and easy side dish. I serve it with tacos, sloppy joes, or picnic meals... Great for potlucks because you serve it cold. Easily adjusted to your individual taste by using your favorite salsa. I often double this for church potlucks or company - it makes a lot to serve as a side and stretch a meal. I usually skip the onions and peppers when making it for guests. I rated this myself for ease and because it is a go-to recipe in my house.
