Description
A southwestern twist on salsa fresca with corn kernels and black beans.
Ingredients
- 3 whole Tomatoes, Diced
- 1 cup Frozen Corn, Thawed
- 1 can Black Beans, Drained
- 1/2 Medium Red Onion, Finely Diced
- ½ cups Cilantro, Chopped
- 2 Green Onions, Finely Sliced
- 1 Or 2 Avocados, Medium Dice
- Juice Of 1 Lime (around 2 Or 3 Tbsp)
- 2 Tablespoons Balsamic Vinegar
- 1 Tablespoon Olive Oil
- 1 clove Garlic, Minced
- 1 teaspoon Ground Cumin
- 1 teaspoon Ground Mexican Oregano
- 1 can Diced Green Chili (4 Oz)
- 1 whole Jalapeno, Diced Fine (seeds Removed)
- 1 whole Serrano Chili, De-seeded And Minced
- Salt And Pepper, to taste
Preparation
Chop and measure out all ingredients as indicated and toss together. Let sit at least an hour before serving. Serve with tortilla chips and enjoy!
Some notes:
You can use a can of corn, drained if that’s what you have in your cupboards.
This is a mild salsa, so if you want a little more of a kick to it, add another Serrano chili. Or if you really like it spicy, leave the seeds in.
Make sure you use Mexican oregano (not to be confused with Italian or Greek oregano). It is a sweeter and milder than the other forms of oregano. Found in the spice packages in the Mexican food stores or Mexican food isles.

This recipe is awesome! I made it for a party and everyone raved over it and wanted the recipe. Definitely a keeper.
(I think I may have given this only a few mitts. I didn’t understand how the mitts rating worked and just clicked on a mitt not knowing that in doing so I was rating the recipe.)

I made this today and it was absolutely habit forming! I couldn’t find any Mexican Oregano at my little grocery store though, but I will try and get some for next time I make it!

I can’t wait to try this! I made a similar recipe this weekend for a bridal shower and it is now a planned dish for the wedding. Looks like can improve it. Thanks so much.
