Cuisine: Mexican

Ingredients
  

  • 1 red bell pepper
  • 4 medium tomatoes
  • 1 small or 1/2 a medium red onion
  • 1 15 oz can black beans
  • 2 ripe avocados
  • 1/4 cup pickled jalapenos more or less depending on preference
  • 1/4 cup chopped cilantro
  • 1/2 cup corn Optional-fresh off the cob is best but canned works too!
  • Juice of 3 limes
  • 1/4 cup avocado oil
  • 1 Tbsp apple cider vinegar
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1/2 tsp pepper

Method
 

  1. First, prepare all of the add-ins. Dice the bell pepper into small cubes. Remove the stems from the tomatoes and dice them into cubes. Dice the red onion. Drain and rinse the black beans. Dice the pickled jalapenos. Dice the avocado. Chop the cilantro. Add everything to a large bowl as you go.
  2. Juice the limes over the bowl, and add the oil, vinegar, salt, pepper, and garlic. Mix everything gently (so not to mash the avocado) but thoroughly to make sure everything is combined well.
  3. Serve immediately or cover and store in the fridge until ready to eat! Serve with tortilla chips or plantain chips, or even over grilled chicken!
