Black Bean and Charred Corn Salsa
This super simple salsa is also super quick and easy to make. There is so much flavour in a charred corn kernel. Try it and see. Serve Mexicano tonite
Arriba!! This is the quickest yet tastiest salsa on the planet thanks to the charring. I do love a good char. There are quite a few recipes on here where I use that as a technique. SO much more fun to add a flame in the mix. And it adds heaps of flavour without adding any ingredients. Kind of magic. So don't be afraid, get burning!
Need
- 2 cobs of corn, husk removed
- 1 x 400 gram Tin black beans drained and rinsed
- 1/2 red caspicum/pepper, deseeded and diced

Char the corn on the cob in an open gas flame, turning as needed. It will spit at you a little bit. When the corn is charred and smells good, remove and cool slightly before cutting the kernals from the cob.

Toss everything together in a large bowl, taste and season. Serve with anything you like! Of course this goes especially well with anything Mexican.
