Chipotle Black Bean Salsa Recipes

BLACK BEAN CHIPOTLE SALSA

Steps:

• Start by washing all produce.
• Core and quarter approximately 8 to 12 tomatoes. Place tomato quarters in a large food processor and chop until they reach a thick, chunky texture. You can strain off some of the juice if your mixture seems watery. Pour tomatoes in a serving or storage container and set aside.
• Prepare green peppers by slicing down the center, removing the stems and white pith, then slice into medium-sized sections approximately 1-inch square. Place pepper pieces in the food processor and chop until pieces are small but not watery. Add to the tomato base.
• Peel and quarter the onion(s), removing the core. Prep the cilantro by removing the leaves by hand or by cutting them off with scissors or knife. Peel the garlic cloves and cut in half. Use 1-2 thumb-sized chipotle peppers (from a can of chipotle peppers marinated in adobo sauce) and cut into quarter-inch slices. Start with only 1/2 a chipotle pepper if you are sensitive to spicy flavors.
• Place the chipotle pepper(s), onion, cilantro, and garlic in the food processor and chop until fine but not watery. Add this mixture to the tomatoes and green peppers.
• Juice the lime and add the juice to the salsa mixture. Measure out spices and other seasonings, adding them to the salsa as well. Use a whisk and mix well to ensure the spices are evenly dispersed.
• Rinse one can of black beans and gently stir into salsa. You can also add a drained can of sweet corn if desired.
• Celebrate and enjoy the salsa perfection!!

Transfer pan to the oven; cook until an instant-read thermometer inserted into center of meat registers 145 degrees, 20 to 25 minutes. Let pork stand at room temperature 5 to 10 minutes before slicing.
• Meanwhile, make the salsa: Stir together the black beans, tomatoes, onion, cilantro, lime juice, chile, and cumin in a small bowl. Serve with the pork.
