Our Smokey Fiesta Black Bean Salsa is a flavorful blend that serves as an impressive dip, a stunning taco filler, or a vibrant mix-in for salads. Its compelling taste comes from the sweet roasted corn contrasted with the zest of lime, garnished with fresh cilantro.
Prepare all your vegetables. Rinse and drain the black beans. Defrost the roasted corn. Finely dice the tomatoes and red onion. Thinly slice the green onions, and chop the cilantro. If using, finely chop the jalapeño, making sure to remove the seeds.
