13 ingredients
8 steps

Ingredients

  • 1 (16 ounce) can black beans, drained and rinsed (or pinto beans if you're really hard up)
  • 2 -4 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil (This is a recipe where less oil probably tastes best!)
  • 1/3 cup fresh lime juice (If you use bottled juice, I may have to hurt you!)
  • 3 tablespoons stemmed and chopped fresh cilantro leaves, more to taste
  • 1 tablespoon minced pickled jalapeno pepper, more to taste
  • 2 teaspoons minced fresh garlic
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon fresh ground black pepper
  • 1/2 cup chopped red bell pepper
  • 1/2 cup chopped green bell pepper
  • 1/2 cup chopped red onion
  • 2 green onions, sliced,including both white and green parts

Directions

  1. 1
    In a medium bowl, whisk oil, lime juice, cilantro, jalapeno peppers, garlic, cumin, salt, and pepper.
  2. 2
    Add bell red and green peppers and both types of onions, and toss well.
  3. 3
    Add beans, and toss again.
  4. 4
    Cover, and refrigerate several hours or overnight, mixing occasionally.
  5. 5
    Taste, and adjust seasonings as necessary; extra salt and black pepper do wonders, even though Glenda gets upset if I add too much salt.
  6. 6
    Toss well before serving, or drain if desired (only if you are a real wimp!) This recipe should be doubled or tripled!
  7. 7
    It keeps a long time in the refrigerator, and it tastes great!
  8. 8
    Actually, the longer it sets, the better it tastes, so make it in advance if you can.
