Tyler’s Black Bean Salsa

Tyler’s Black Bean Salsa

♥  My daughter Brittany’s fiancee Tyler,  first made this salsa at our house on one of their visits with us. They were going to Tyler’s family get together the next day and they asked him to bring it along. We were lucky not only to taste it but also see this salsa in the making. It has a bold and spicy flavour that quickly becames addicting.

This recipe makes a large batch that only gets better with age. Paired up with some lime Mojitos it made for a wonderful start to a great evening. 

Here is Tyler’s recipe:

  • 2 cans black beans (rinsed and drained)
  • 2 cobs of corn (grilled)

  • 1 green pepper
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 lime (juiced)
  • Franks Red Hot sauce to taste
  • 1 tablespoon minced garlic (fresh or bottled, both work fine)
