A vibrant and flavorful Mexican appetizer that's easy to make and perfect for sharing. It features a fresh salsa of black beans, corn, and spicy jalapeño, served with crispy baked tortilla chips.
Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
Stack tortillas and cut into wedges (6-8 wedges per tortilla).
Toss tortilla wedges with olive oil and salt on a baking sheet. Spread in a single layer.
Bake for 10-15 minutes, or until golden brown and crispy, flipping halfway through. Watch carefully to prevent burning.
While the chips are baking, prepare the salsa. In a medium bowl, combine the rinsed and drained black beans, corn, red onion, red bell pepper, jalapeño (if using), and cilantro.
In a small bowl, whisk together lime juice, cumin, and chili powder (if using).
Pour the lime juice mixture over the black bean mixture and stir to combine.
Serve the black bean and corn salsa immediately with the baked tortilla chips. You can also serve with a dollop of sour cream or Greek yogurt, if desired.
Nutrition per serving (150g)
For spicier salsa, leave the seeds in the jalapeño.
If you don't have time to bake your own chips, store-bought tortilla chips work just fine.
The salsa can be made ahead of time and stored in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.
Add avocado for creaminess.
For a sweeter salsa, add a small amount of diced mango.

A light and refreshing dessert that balances spice with cool, citrusy sweetness.
"This light and creamy avocado lime mousse balances the spice of the salsa with its cool, citrusy sweetness. The avocado provides a smooth texture, and the lime echoes the lime juice in the main course, while the toasted coconut adds a delightful textural contrast. Its healthy profile keeps with the meal's overall theme."
