This black bean corn salsa recipe is a very versatile recipe. You can serve it as an appetizer; as a accompaniment to tacos or enchiladas or a topping on grilled chicken. As a quick aside, I think I have noted in some recent posts that I want to start narrowing some of my food focus so I can get better with my cooking. You know the whole saying, practice makes perfect. I looked to find out some history on Mexican food to understand the origin more. What I learned is that some Mexican food dates back to 7000 BC and is still the same today. I think much of this black bean salsa must have existed for a long time because no cooking is necessary. That may be a reach but I am going with it.
I like the idea that the black beans are healthy and the other ingredients provide texture and round out the flavors. This black bean corn salsa is colorful, fresh and tasty.
