Fiery Black Bean Roasted Corn Salsa Food

GRILLED CORN AND BLACK BEAN SALSA

Steps:

• Salsa Preparation: Preheat a grill pan. Brush corn with 1 tablespoon of oil and season with salt. Place on grill and cook until lightly browned on all sides, about 8 minutes. Remove from grill and using a VIVA® paper towel, hold the ear of corn upright in a bowl and cut the kernels from the cob. Add remaining ingredients to the bowl and stir to combine. Serve with tortilla chips. Margarita Preparation: Pour lime juice, tequila, triple sec, pomegranate juice and simple syrup into a small ice-filled pitcher. Stir well. Pour into ice filled glasses and garnish with a lime wedge. Habanero Syrup Preparation: Place sugar and water in a small saucepan and stir to combine. Poke holes in the habanero and add to the mixture. Bring to a gentle boil over medium-high heat. Reduce heat and simmer until sugar is completely dissolved and syrup is slightly thickened, about 3 minutes. Remove from heat and let cool. Refrigerate until ready to use.
• To make the portable coasters: Cut 3 inches off one non-perforated side of a VIVA® towel; Fold perforated sides towards center of VIVA® towel, creating creases 2 inches from each edge; With VIVA® towel flap-side up, set margarita glass on top, in the center; Bring folded sides of VIVA® towel toward stem of glass to cover the base of the glass. (There will be a thin strip of the base that remains uncovered.); Secure flaps around base with two 1 1/2-inch-pieces of clear tape (optional); To finish, fold remaining flaps under base of glass, and secure with clear tape or sticker.

FIERY BLACK BEAN ROASTED CORN SALSA

Steps:

• 1. Slice tomato, jalapeno, red pepper and onion into small pieces. Put in a food processor. Add chopped cilantro, lime and all other seasonings. Blend well. Cut corn off the cob and place in a medium sized bowl. Rinse and drain black beans and add to the bowl. Cut avocado into small pieces and add to the bowl. Poor the tomato mixture into the bowl and stir. Add chile pepper flakes and salt/pepper to taste. I tend to put a lot of pepper in ours. Probably a tablespoon as well as around a teaspoon of salt.
• 2. The picture I posted with this recipe is a little bit different than I normally make. I had some leftover homemade salsa with lime, onion, cilantro, peppers and tomatoes and I only had one roasted corn on the cob, so I added some corn that was previously frozen.
