Found this in taste of home mag. and it is a HIT every where I take it.
jar of your fav salsa 1 sm bag of frozen shoepeg corn (its white) 1 small bag of frozen yellow corn 1-2 cans of black beans (drained) I add lime or lemon juice and one jalapeno very well diced
this is good and tasty and not too spicy and it is not messy or runny like plain salsa
The easiest way I've found to make black bean and corn salsa is to take your favorite brand of salsa and add canned black beans and corn that have been drained well. You just can't beat it.
Here's a good one from Mary Engelbreit's Home Companion:
Corn and Black Bean Salsa The salsa can be made earlier in the day and refrigerated.
Ingredients Serves 6 to 8 2 cups fresh or frozen corn (about 4 ears) 1 1/2 cups canned black beans 3/4 cup red pepper, chopped 1/2 - 3/4 jalapeno pepper, seeded and chopped (wear rubber gloves and avoid rubbing eyes) 4 tablespoons fresh lime juice 3 tablespoons olive oil 1/2 teaspoon ground cumin Pinch of sugar Salt and pepper to taste 2 tablespoons fresh cilantro, chopped
1. If using fresh corn, blanch for 1 minute (place corn in boiling water, then immediately plunge it into cold water to stop the cooking process.) Remove kernels from cobs. Set aside. 2. Drain and rinse black beans. Set aside. 3. Combine rest of ingredients. Add corn and black beans. Refrigerate. 4. Add cilantro just before serving.
1 can black beans, rinsed and drained 1 can petite diced tomatoes and jalapenos (or use the fresh equivilent) 1 Medium spanish onion, diced 2 jalapenos, diced (more or less to taste) 1 cup fresh guacamole (I buy it in the produce section, but you can make your own) A splash of lime juice
Mix it all together. Easy.
I'll also heat it up and cover it with grated pepper jack cheese. (If you can't tell, I love spicy foods. If this sounds too hot, then you can also use plain monterey jack cheese and omit the fresh jalapenos)
I make a similar recipe to this one, though I don't use store bought seasoning mix. If you do a google search you'll find various versions.

A Taste for Health Tip: Substitute to reduced fat sour cream and reduced fat cheese for a savings of 10 calories and 1 gram of fat per serving. Serve with baked tortilla or pita chips to save additional calories and fat grams.
