Corn and Black Bean Relish

The perfect side for your favorite main dish, like my carne asada tacos. I love this recipe because it can be served as a side or a dip.

Corn and Black Bean Relish

Ingredients:

1 can black beans, drained and rinsed
1 red pepper, diced small
1 small red onion, diced small
1 jalapeno, minced
1 avocado, diced small
3 plum tomatoes, seeded and diced small
8 ounce bag of frozen corn kernels
2 limes, zested and juiced
2-4 tablespoons minced fresh cilantro
salt and pepper, to taste

Directions:

Combine all ingredients and stir gently to combine. Let stand at room temperature for 30 minutes before serving for flavors to meld. Great as a side dish for a Mexican meal or as a dip with tortilla chips.

Serves 8-10
