Yummy and easy. No cooking required.
Lately I want something, cheap, easy, healthy and versatile. This had been my go-to. it is extremely flavor full and fresh, perfect for the end of summer.
I'm sure you have seen many variations of this but this is how I roll with it.
Bean and corn salsa
You will need:
1 bag frozen corn
1 can canelli beans
1 can black beans
Small jar of your favorite salsa
2 diced tomatoes
1 diced onion
Minced garlic
Cilantro
Salt, pepper
1 lemon
Small can diced green chillies
large bowl
strainer
large spoon
cutting board
chopping knife
Remove corn from bag and put in microwave safe bowl and cover with water microwave for 6 minutes then strain.
Strain both cans of beans and rinse as well
Add all three: corn and both types beans to a large bowl.
Chop up tomatoes, onion and cilantro add to bowl.
Add minced garlic and diced green chillies and mix
Add 1 tablespoon jar salsa.
Add salt and pepper to taste.
Cut lemon in half and use juice all over mixture. Viola!
The beauty of this recipe is it is very inexpensive, pantry items and frozen veggies last a long time so you may have the beans and corn on hand. And the recipe is extremely versatile! I have eaten this with chips, over brown rice. In a wheat tortilla or topped chicken tacos with it! The best part is if you are someone like me who lacks protein in their diet this is a great source of protein!
did you know?
black beans health the digestive track specifically the colon. they also help you feel full faster keeping your calories low.
Canelli beans are rich in folic acid which helps your body produce new healthy cells
Cilantro is high in antioxidants
Tomatoes are known to help lower cholesterol
Lemon are high in anti-bacterial and immune boosting powers and are a digestive aid which is helpful in weight loss.
enjoy!
