Mexican Black Bean and Corn Salsa
MEXICAN BLACK BEAN and CORN SALSA that takes 2 MINUTES to make! This easy homemade salsa recipe is full of fresh Mexican flavor! Eat this healthy dip with chips or serve as a salad.
We love this Mexican Black Bean and Corn Salsa because it only takes 2 minutes to make and can easily be served as a dip with tortilla chips or as side salad. I find that I can make this recipe in the hot Summer months for picnics, or in the cold Snowy months with slow cooker tacos and we love it equally.
We eat Mexican food very often in our house so this salsa is a perfect fit! I see so many tasty taco recipes from bloggers but recently I came across a book that I fell in love with it. It’s “The Taco Revolution” and features over 100 recipes to “Master America’s New Favorite Food”. It’s not often that Matthew and I both have to fight over a cookbook but when he saw this on my desk his eyes nearly popped out of his head. “Tacos!” he exclaimed. “Tacos!” I exclaimed. In this cookbook there’s a section devoted to one of my favorite foods – salsa!
From slow cooker tacos, to salsa, to cornbread, I love it all. In fact check out my Mexican recipe selection here for lots of other recipes! Make this salsa and serve it with your next Mexican dish!
Enjoy!

Love the idea of all these tacos.. and you totally have me craving a mac n cheese taco for lunch.. haha… This salsa looks amazing. Also on a side note I read book 1 of game of thrones so addicted.
Gotta read them all girl!!!!
I love Mexican food, too, and this salsa is right up my alley! Taco Revolution sounds like a book that I need. 🙂
Men, I miss Mexican restaurants and food. In Europe, they don’t quite get it. Your salsa looks very authentic and wholesome!

Mexican food is pretty much the best food ever. Pass the bowl and a giant spoon I don’t need anything else. 🙂
I like that spirit Jamie! 😉

This salsa looks so good! I love Mexican food!

Yes, I definitely love Mexican! Who doesn’t? I can’t get enough of black beans and salsa, and this recipe looks perfect. I also love that you have been sharing some of your cookbook recipes lately!
Mexican is my fave, too!!! I love it! We have this little Mexican restaurant in town, and it’s totally our favorite – we go all.the.time. Like, we don’t usually need to order – the waitress already knows. AND I make it at home! Usually crockpot chicken tacos … but sometimes I mix it up and do beef instead! But a mac n cheese taco??? That just screams comfort food!!!
Loving the black bean and corn salsa – Yummy!!!! Quick, easy, perfectly Mexi … can’t wait! 🙂
I do love Mexican too – specially salsa – I sometimes eat it by the spoonful, sans chips!
I could very easily eat this corn and black bean salsa without any chips too – sounds awesome!
This is the kind of salsa I would love to have in my life!
Salsa which is good enough, to make me want to do the salsa! Ole!
Yessss, and its one of those questions we should know the answer to straight away. What about your mood, and the weather? These 2 ingredients totally change up my favs. Although, as a standard go to, I reckon Mexican is a goer for me too. 🙂
Not a fan of black beans, but I do like the look of your salsa. If someone prepared it for me, wouldnt say no.
I am with you on the Mexican food love! I think the majority of my recipes on Shared Appetite are Mexican/Tex-Mex… I could eat it EVERY day for sure. And I’m such a fan of dips and salsas. This looks fantastic! What a cool book!
