This morning I'm really not in the mood to post, and this is actually a recipe I've posted on An American Housewife many times in the past 14 (15?) years. So this is a quick picture I had posted on my Snapchat yesterday just to some friends and family; but I decided it might be a good idea to post here as a reminder of not only how yummy this is, but it's also easy to make and uses a lot of ingredients that you might already have stocked in your pantry and/or freezer during this Coronavirus pandemic!
We normally eat low carb so I don't have corn or black beans on hand but my local Walmart had black beans stocked this week when I did a grocery run, and my Sam's Club had a bulk box of 12 cans of corn in stock so... in the middle of a pandemic, you buy what your stores have stocked and you plan meals around it, right? So... low carb be damned, we enjoyed this old family favorite with tortilla chips last night. I think there is a little bit leftover; I hope so because I plan to have it for lunch!
Almost all ingredients are optional based on your preferences - add or delete and adjust the amounts to your tastes or what you have on hand! Serve as is, with tortilla chips or with flour tortillas.
2 cans black beans, rinsed and drained
1 can or 1 1/2 cups petite diced tomatoes
1 can yellow corn
1 can white corn
4-5 green onions, sliced thin
1/2 small red onion, diced
1/2 avocado, petite diced
1/2 red or green pepper, diced
1-2 t minced fresh garlic
1 small can diced green chili
1 small jalapeno pepper, diced fine
1 bunch cilantro - chopped
Juice from 1 lime (about 2 tablespoons)
1 1/2 t cumin powder
Salt to taste (start with a teaspoon and taste test)
Mix together in a bowl. Serve right away or chill 2 hours before serving. Serve as a side dish, with tortilla chips or with flour tortillas.
