Black Bean Salsa

Directions

1. 1
   This is pretty much a dump-and-eat recipe.
2. 2
   There is no set way you need to put the ingredients in.
3. 3
   I start by adding the canned ingredients into a large glass bowl, then add the fresh onion and pepper.
4. 4
   The next step is to measure out the spices and add them to the mixture.
5. 5
   I use fresh cilantro in this recipe occasionally, but I do not always have it handy in the fridge and always have dried.
6. 6
   My kids do not really like fresh cilantro so I tend to make it with the dried more often.
7. 7
   After adding the spices, measure out the lime juice and add to the mixture.
8. 8
   Toss and eat.
9. 9
   The longer you refrigerate it, the better it tastes, but I have made it and served it right away with dinner and it tasted great.
10. 10
    We love to put it on quesadillas a quick but good meal on a busy week night!
11. 11
    (If you are not keen on hot things, do not put the jalapeno pepper in.

    My family does not like it so I opt to not add it to the recipe.)
