Bean and Corn Salsa

8 ingredients
12 steps

Ingredients

  • 1 (15 ounce) can chickpeas, drained (garbanzo beans)
  • 1 (15 ounce) can whole kernel corn, drained
  • 1 (15 ounce) can black beans, drained (I also rinse mine)
  • 3 (10 1/2 ounce) cans rotel, do not drain (2 cans lime and cilantro and 1 can extra hot)
  • 2 -3 diced avocados (depends on how much you like avocado!)
  • 1 (5/8 ounce) envelopepowdered Italian salad dressing mix, prepared according to package (I use Kroger brand and prepare it with olive oil and balsamic vinegar)
  • basil (to taste)
  • oregano (to taste)

Directions

  1. 1
    Super easy - just dump all the ingredients into a bowl, and stir until well-mixed!
  2. 2
    Serve with tortilla chips (I like Tostito's Scoops).
  3. 3
    Tips:.
  4. 4
    It's best if prepared ahead of time to let it marinate overnight.
  5. 5
    The longer it sits, the better it tastes!
  6. 6
    I use avocados that are only slightly ripened beacuse they're easier to dice and when you stir the salsa, riper ones tend to get mushy.
  7. 7
    You can use any flavor Rotel that you like, but I have found that using plain Rotel lets the flavor of the oil in the dressing through too much and it gives the salsa a bitter taste.
  8. 8
    You can also dice fresh tomatoes instead of Rotel (I'm too lazy!
  9. 9
    ), or use 2 cans of diced tomatoes.
  10. 10
    According to my mom (who gave me this recipe), you can use any kind of bean that you want - kidney beans, lima beans, etc.
  11. 11
    I haven't tried it - I like it how it is, so I say why mess with it?
  12. 12
    :).
