Black beans, corn, and avocados come together in this quick, fresh, salsa.
We threw a going away party for some dear friends a few weeks ago and needed a quick salsa for some chips to offset all the desserts. (They were “desserting” us, so we threw them a dessert party.) It just so happened that I had a few cans of corn, some fresh tomatoes from the garden, a can of black beans, and some ripe avocados on hand. That’s how this Black Bean, Corn, and Avocado Salsa was born! It was in high demand, and I’ve since made it three more times for hubby and I to chow down. It goes great in burritos and I’ve since used it a few times to make scrambled eggs in the morning. I’ve also added extra avocado and made it into vegetarian street tacos.
I only had a moment to snap a few photos, so I’ll keep this post short and sweet. Buen Provecho!

this looks wonderful! We enjoy Mexican style foods, I will add this yumminess to my list. I invite you to share at my Thursday Blog Hop ( you can start linking tonight at 8PM MST). Hugs!
If you like Mexican-style foods, then I’m definitely your girl! I’m pretty sure we eat Mexican or Tex-Mex 2-3 times a week. I’ll stop by the party. 🙂
I love making fresh salsa, but I’ve never added beans. They don’t really sell canned beans over here, but I know if I was up for the challenge I could just boil them ahead of time (of course that means thinking way ahead!). Thanks for the recipe!
We sometimes call it cowboy caviar. You’re still in China right? I imagine it would be harder to find canned beans. I think you could swap in some other small cooked vegetable like squash, sweet potato, diced green beans, mushrooms, etc. Or soak the dried beans in your rice cooker overnight and then add more water and cook them on the brown rice setting.
