List of Ingredients




2 c. dried black beans OR 2 c. prepared black beans
2 c. cooked corn
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 med. red bell pepper, chopped

Recipe



Wash beans and soak overnight. Place beans in large saucepan and cover with 1" water. Bring to a boil, then cover and reduce heat to simmer for approx. 1 1/2 to 2 hr. or until tender to taste. Make sure they are always covered with water while cooking. When beans are tender, drain and combine with
next 6 ingredients in recipe. Roast cumin seeds and add to salad along with red and black pepper. Add cilantro and parsley on day of serving.

If using tortillas for garnish, brush both sides with olive oil and cut into strips 1/4" wide and 1 1/2 " long. Bake at 350F., 2 minutes, or until partly chewy, partly crisp.
