To this end, I developed black bean happiness. Littlest bit loves this stuff- it's one of the few dinners I make that he will eat happily without assistance. My oldest sister tried it and said he has the right idea.
Ingredients:
2 cans black beans, drained and rinsed
1 cup corn
1- 2 avocados, diced
2-3 cloves garlic, mincedCombined beans, corn, tomatoes, pepper, onion, and avocado. Chop garlic and cilantro in the blender. Before you dump the ensuing deliciousness into the mix, take a good whiff. It's good. Now that you have whiffed, pour the cilantro/garlic mix on top of the vegetables. Add the vinegar, lime juice, chili powder, and sugar. Mix until well combined.
This is best if you let it sit for a couple of hours to let the flavors mix and get wonderful. It also gives the beans a chance to absorb some of the liquid so they're not quite so crunchy. I love this with wheat thins. You could also use it to make vegetarian or even vegan tacos, quesadillas, tostadas, or any number of delicious things. This raw salsa is a powerhouse of protein, vitamin a, vitamin e, vitamin c, calcium, magnesium, and potassium, along with a few other minerals. It's also delicious. I've made it 3 times in as many weeks, and I can tell you that it doesn't last long. I'll try and post a picture soon- I apologize for the poor quality of my photos!
