Salsa as a condiment, a tortilla dip, or a main course. Your choice! I first found this as a condiment alongside a Tex-Mex entrée at an expensive restaurant. I developed a recipe, and found it to be one of the most versatile and most popular recipes in my repertoire.

Ingredients
Aromatics
- 2 limes, juiced
- ¼ cup balsamic vinegar
- 2 TBSP 'cado oil (avocado oil)
- 2 TBSP minced garlic
- 3 jalepeño peppers, diced
- 1 bunch green onion, large bunch, sliced thinly
- 1 red onion, diced
- 1 tsp cumin
- 1 tsp salt
- ¼ tsp chili powder
- 25 grinds black pepper
- 1 TBSP chipotle in adobo sauce, optional for smokey heat
Salsa
- 1 can black beans, rinsed and drained
- 1 cup frozen corn
- 4 roma tomatoes, diced
- ½ bunch cilantro, chopped fine, divided
Serving
- 1 large avocado, diced
- 1 large bag tortilla chips
Instructions
In a large bowl:
- Put all the aromatics in a large bowl and mix to the the flavors meld.
- Add the diced tomatoes, black beans and corn. Add half the chopped cilantro. Adjust to taste, keeping in mind that the cilantro will "bloom" as the salsa sits.
- It is best to serve the avocado in real time as a garnish.
- In the unlikely event you have leftovers, and you have mixed the avocado into the salsa, it is best eaten within 24ish hours.
Notes
This is a very versatile dish. It works well as a garnish for a TexMex main course. Wrap it in a tortilla for a delicious taco. It can served as a side dish. And, of course, set it out with chips and it will be gone in a flash! All that, and it's so good for you as well.
