Black Bean and Corn Salsa
Report
This wildly versatile Black Bean and Corn Salsa will have you dreaming up all sorts of ways to use it: tacos, salads, even wraps! I think it tastes best when the lime flavor is at the forefront so feel free to add another squeeze!

Ingredients
- 1 can corn
- 1/2 can black beans
- 3 plum tomatoes
- 1/2 red onion
- 1 jalapeño
- 12-15 prigs cilantro
- juice of lime 2 plus more to taste
- 1 tablespoon adobo sauce optional
- 1 teaspoon salt
- cotija cheese optional
Instructions
- Drain and rinse the corn and black beans, adding them to a mixing bowl. Note that we're only using 1/2 can of black beans in this version.
- Finely chop the 3 tomatoes, 1/2 red onion, 1 jalapeno, and 12-15 cilantro sprigs; adding them to the mixing bowl. I usually twist off and discard the thicker, bottom portion of the cilantro stems but keep the upper stems.
- Add the juice of 2 limes, 1 tablespoon adobo sauce, and 1 teaspoon salt. Combine well and take a final taste for seasoning, adding more salt or lime if necessary.
- Garnish with a generous sprinkling of Cotija cheese. Serve immediately or store in an airtight container in the fridge.
Notes
- I like this salsa best when using a 2:1 corn to beans ratio, but you can always make a more hearty version by adding in more beans.
- A final burst of acidity works really well with this salsa so definitely keep some lime wedges on standby. Alternative sources of acidity would be red wine vinegar or hot sauce.
- Assuming a 15 oz. can, one can of corn is approximately 2 cups worth of corn. 1/2 can of beans is approximately 1 cup of beans.
