Today we made our weekly trip to the Farmer's Market and picked up some fresh corn on the cob, jalapenos, banana peppers, and local homemade soap. I wanted to look around some more, but the kids weren't cooperating very well. The kids laid down for naps right when we got home so I got to thinking about what I could make with the corn. I search 'Zaar and found some corn and black bean salsa recipes. I ended up following a recipe called Baja Black Beans, Corn, and Rice. I had every intention of making the bean and corn mixture now and then making the rice around dinner time so we could have an easy dinner.
Well, I made a couple of slight changes to the recipe and tried it with some corn chips and it made an awesome salsa!!
Here are the changes that I made:
--I roasted my corn, tomatoes, peppers, and garlic in a dry cast iron pan.
--I also added a couple of splashes of red wine vinegar, some chili powder, ground chipotle powder, smoked paprika, and dried cilantro. I also added a few more jalapenos because mine wasn't even remotely spicy with just one. (not even a little kick)
And this is what it turned out to be:
It is so colorful and super yummy!!!! I think this would definitely be great over some rice with some grilled chicken. But its also great just by itself with some corn chips. Enjoy!



This looks SO good! I'm going to have to try it!
