Black Bean Avocado Salsa Recipes

GRILLED AVOCADO STUFFED WITH BLACK BEAN SALSA

Steps:

• Prepare a grill for medium-high heat.
• For the black bean salsa: Stir together the beans, cilantro, red onions, cumin, tomatoes, lime juice, bell peppers and jalapenos in a medium bowl until well incorporated. Season with salt and pepper.
• For the grilled avocado: Brush the cut sides of the avocados with olive oil and place on the grill cut-side down. Cook until charred, about 1 minute. Season with the chile powder and some salt and pepper.
• To serve, fill the cavity of each avocado with the salsa and serve with tortilla chips.

CORN BLACK BEAN AVOCADO SALSA

Steps:

• Add everything to a large bowl. Stir. Taste and add more salt/pepper/cayenne as needed.
• Cover and let sit in the refrigerator for 1 hour or up to 1 day before enjoying. I find its flavor is best after an hour or so. (The lime juice and red onion keeps the avocado from turning brown.)

BLACK BEAN AVOCADO SALSA WITH CORN

Steps:

• Preheat the grill over medium-high heat.
• Rub the shucked corn with olive oil and place onto the grill and cook until nicely charred on all sides, about 5 minutes per side. Allow to cool slightly prior to removing the kernels and transferring to a large bowl.
• Add the cherry tomatoes, avocados, black beans and onions to the grilled corn kernels.
• Mix together the 2 tablespoons olive oil, agave, cumin, garlic, lime juice, serrano, cayenne, and salt and black pepper to taste in a separate bowl. Whisk together, as you would to make a vinaigrette, and pour over the corn mixture. Mix together gently so everything is coated well, and then fold in the cilantro and scallions.

BLACK BEAN TOSTADAS WITH AVOCADO SALSA

Steps:

• Heat oven to 200C/180C fan/gas 6. Brush the tortillas with a little of the oil and place in a single layer on baking sheets. Cook for 8 mins until crisp.
• In a large frying pan, heat the remaining oil. Add the onion and garlic, and cook for 5 mins. Add the spices, vinegar and honey. Cook for 2 mins more. Add the beans and seasoning, and heat through.
• Remove from the heat and mash the beans gently with the back of your spoon to a chunky purée. Spread some beans over the crispy corn tortillas, scatter with your choice of toppings and add a spoonful of crème fraîche to cool down, or a splash of chipotle Tabasco to spice it up.
