🥄 Ingredients

  • 1 can corn
  • 1/2 can black beans
  • 3 plum tomatoes
  • 1/2 red onion
  • 1 jalapeno
  • 12-15 sprigs cilantro
  • juice of 2 limes (plus more to taste)
  • 1 tablespoon adobo sauce (optional)
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • Cotija cheese (optional)

👨‍🍳 Instructions

  1. 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.

  2. 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. 

  3. 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.

  4. Garnish with a generous sprinkling of Cotija cheese.  Serve immediately or store in an airtight container in the fridge.
