1 (11 ounce) can sweet whole kernel corn, drained

2 medium tomatoes, chopped

1 red bell pepper, chopped

1/3 cup chopped fresh cilantro

1/4 cup diced red onion

1 minced fresh jalapeno pepper-add a few seeds to make it hotter

-3 tablespoons fresh lime juice

-1 teaspoon salt

1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper

1 avocado, chopped

-Tortilla chips or Fritos scoops

Preparation

Combine black beans, corn, chopped tomatoes, and next 7 ingredients in a bowl. Cover and chill at least 2 hours. Add avocado just before serving. Serve with tortilla chips or Fritos scoops.

– I never measure for this recipe, just add til the amounts seem right. … I usually omit the avocado, tomato and cilantro completely- I don’t like cilantro much and it will keep much longer in the fridge without the tomato and avocado. Have served it over a sliced avocado as a side dish for a luncheon meal. Enjoy!
