I love making this Spicy Southwestern Corn Salad all year round, it makes enough to feed plenty of people, which is always a plus and it can make a great side dish or appetizer if served with chips. If I’m feeling like something heavier then I just add cheese and melt it all up in the microwave! It’s also great to put on tacos, quesadillas, or in enchiladas! I love it so much I add it to my mac and cheese sometimes(just omit the avocado) Super versatile and yummy! For those that like it spicy just add more jalapenos or habaneros as I do! Enjoy!
Spicy Southwestern Corn Salsa
Ingredients
Ingredients:
- 1 Can Corn fresh or frozen (thaw if frozen)
- 1 Chopped Medium Tomato
- 1 tbsp Olive Oil
- 3 tbsp Minced Cilantro
- 1 Chopped Scallion
- 1 Can Black Beans
- 2 tbsp Lime Juice adjust according to taste
- 1/3 cup Chopped/Sliced Onion I prefer red
- Salt and Fresh Pepper To Taste
- 1 Avocado diced
- 1 Diced Jalapeno or Habanero I always add more!
- 1 tbsp Taco Seasoning Optional but I always add it!
Instructions
Charing The Corn
- In a heavy bottom pan, I use lodge add a small amount of oil and char the corn for about 3-5 minutes. Do not let it blacken just slightly brown on the sides. Remove and follow the next steps.
Directions:
- In a large bowl, combine beans, corn, tomato, onion, scallion, cilantro, salt and pepper.
- Squeeze fresh lime juice to taste and stir in olive oil.
- Marinate in the refrigerator 30 minutes.
- Add avocado just before serving so it doesn't oxidize. Enjoy!
