Fresh Black Bean and Corn Salsa PLUS Skinny Margaritas!!

HAPPY CINCO, my food-loving friends!

Here is my second cinco post because #cantstopwontstop eating Mexican food. This salsa is so versatile. It's perfect as an app for all your party people, or made in smaller quantities for your own personal snacking. Toss on top of chicken, steak, shrimp, black bean burgers, taco salad, quesadillas, tacos, burrito bowls, chimichangas, I could keep naming Mexican foods forever...

It's SO easy to throw together...

Yields: 3-4 C salsa

Ingredients:

- 1 small onion, red or white, diced
- 1 bunch cilantro, stems removed, chopped
- juice of 2 limes
- 1 tsp salt
- 1/2 can corn, drained
- 1/2 can black beans, drained
- 1 jalapeƱo, diced extra small (if you're feeling dangerous)

Directions: 

- Put everything in a bowl and stir, best served about 24 hours after making so the flavors can make sweet love to each other
- Serve with your favorite margaritas! Here's mine...


Skinny Margaritas:

- 1.5 oz or one shot tequila (I like silver, 100% agave), about 3 tbsp
- 1 oz triplesec or other orange liqueur (I like Patron Citronage), about 2 tbsp
