Spicy Avocado Salsa on Black Beans & Rice



 Spicy Avocado Salsa Ingredients:

  • 1 bunch cherry tomatoes cut in half
  • 2 medium jalapeños diced
  • 1/2 large red onion diced
  • Handful of cilantro diced 
  • 1 1/2 hash avocado's cubed 
  • 3 tablespoons EVOO
  • Garlic salt to taste
  • 1 limes juice
Mix all of these lovely ingredients together and you should have some delicious salsa that looks like this... 



Now for the Black Beans & Rice

Ingredients:
1 cup white rice
1 small yellow onion
1 can black beans (good for up to 3 servings)
1 tablespoon EVOO
Salt to taste

Follow the directions on the bag of rice. I used white which calls for 2 cups water to 1 cup rice. Let it cook over low/medium for 20 minutes. Remove from heat.

Meanwhile...

Dice 1 small yellow onion and sauté in a medium sized pot with the EVOO.  Once the onion is translucent add 1 can of black beans. Salt to taste. Bring to a boil and then immediately bring temperature down to low.

When rice is ready, serve on the bottom with beans on top, finishing with the Spicy Avocado Salsa.
This can be served by itself or as a side dish as seen below.
