I went to a party one night and the hostess had the BEST black bean and corn salsa I’d ever had.  I asked what the secret was and she told me it was a Tupperware Southwest Chipolte seasoning mix and she told me how much it costs.   Being that I like to experiment I told her that I would try to duplicate the recipe without the seasoning mix.  The next day I was researching and discovered that Tupperware discontinued the seasoning mix so I basically HAD to figure out how to duplicate on my own now if I ever wanted to have it again.  Here’s what I came up with.

Ingredients

1 cans black beans, rinsed and drained
1 can corn, drained
1/2 cup fresh cilantro, chopped
1 can tomatoes, diced
1 tablespoon garlic, minced
1 large onion, diced
1 teaspoon chili powder
1 tablespoon ground cumin
3 tablespoons lime juice
1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
salt to taste

Instructions

Gently mix all ingredients in a large bowl and refridgerate for at least 4 hours.

Serve with tortilla chips or crackers.
