This black bean salsa recipe with the zip of chipotle peppers, corn and lime is a recipe that was made up on the “fly” one late evening at work with a co-worker on mine Jon. It combines some of the flavors I love the most from the southwest including chipotle peppers, lime juice, corn and of course black beans. This is an excellent salsa recipe to server up for friends and family while entertaining.

2 cups drained and rinsed black beans
1 cup tomato sauce
1/2 cup diced roasted red bell peppers
1/2 cup corn kernels
juice from one fresh lime
2 tablespoons fresh minced cilantro
1/2 to 1 tablespoon of chipotle peppers (in adobe sauce)
salt to taste

Mince the chipotle peppers very well, if you like a fiery hot salsa then use the full 1 tablespoon of chipotle peppers, if you prefer a mild salsa then back off and use just 1/2 a tablespoon. Once the chipotle peppers are minced well combine them with the tomato sauce and mix well. Add the tomato mixture to the black beans, corn, roasted red bell peppers, cilantro and lime juice and mix well. Let the salsa rest for at least 2 hours under refrigeration before serving.

Makes close to 4 cups salsa
