    Hey HEYYY!!! Where are my chips and salsa people?!?!

    Every day is a good day for salsa AM.I.RIGHT?!?! Yeeessss 100%. Period. End of story. Goodbye.

    JUST KIDDING. I'm still here. With chips and salsa in hand. Chomp chomp.

    If we didn't already have a reason to justify eating more tortilla chips, this Avocado Black Bean Salsa IS our reason.

    Because let's be honest, salsa is basically a very slick way of eating more veggies and getting more healthy fats, protein, and fiber into our lives...all while chowing down on some chips, which are made of corn which basically = veggie. See how I justified the chips. 😉

    Recipe ingredients

    Simple ingredients to make avocado black bean salsa.
    • Black beans: Canned beans is how I roll with this simple salsa, but if you have some dried beans that you'd like to cook you do you Boo.
    • Red bell pepper: If you fancy a yellow or orange bell pepper instead that's okay too!
    • Cumin: A must-have spice for salsa IMO.
    • Red wine vinegar: Might seem like an odd ingredient for salsa, but trust me on this one. It adds just the right amount of pizzazz.
    • Jalapeño pepper: Provides a little splash of heat, but if you're not into that just leave it out.

    Super simple recipe instructions

    There is nothing fancy or time consuming here, unless you decide to be one of those people who soak and cook their own black beans. If you are one of those people, I salute you. I'll just be over here unashamedly grabbing a can of black beans from my pantry because 1) this mama would like some salsa ASAP and 2) I don't have the time (or the patience) to wait for a pot o' beans to soak and cook.

    This is what you'll do in just one step.

    Step 1: Toss some canned (and rinsed) black beans into a bowl with chunks of avocado and some other very necessary must-have salsa ingredients: fresh lime juice, sliced green onions, chopped jalapeño, fresh cilantro, red bell pepper, cumin, garlic, and a splash of red wine vinegar for some extra flair. A little flair goes a long way. We should make that into a bumper sticker.

    And that's it! It almost feels tooooo simple. Unless you're the person who is still waiting on your beans to soak. I'm not judging. Promise.

    This salsa is perfect for:

    • Cinco De Mayo!
    • BBQs and potlucks
    • Taco Tuesday side dish
    • Snack cravings during family movie night
    • The person who grabs a bag of tortilla chips as soon as they return home from work whether or not dinner is 5 minutes or 50 minutes from completion. You know who you are.

    Turn on some Latin dance music, plug in your disco ball, and salsa while you eat this avocado black bean salsa. Just feel the rhythm of this beat. Chip...salsa...eat...chip...salsa...eat...
