BLACK BEAN AVOCADO SALSA WITH CORN

Steps:

• Preheat the grill over medium-high heat.
• Rub the shucked corn with olive oil and place onto the grill and cook until nicely charred on all sides, about 5 minutes per side. Allow to cool slightly prior to removing the kernels and transferring to a large bowl.
• Add the cherry tomatoes, avocados, black beans and onions to the grilled corn kernels.
• Mix together the 2 tablespoons olive oil, agave, cumin, garlic, lime juice, serrano, cayenne, and salt and black pepper to taste in a separate bowl. Whisk together, as you would to make a vinaigrette, and pour over the corn mixture. Mix together gently so everything is coated well, and then fold in the cilantro and scallions.

AVOCADO AND BLACK BEAN SALAD

Steps:

• Mix together all of the above ingredients. I'm an avocado lover, so I use three, but two is good. You can use fresh corn if you prefer and also use as much chopped onion or squeezed lime as you like. In fact, all of the ingredients are to your own liking, use as much or as little as you want. The lime juice helps to keep the avocado from turning brown. Refrigerate for a couple of hours and serve cold. Enjoy!

BLACK BEAN AVOCADO SALSA

Steps:

• Mix black beans, corn, tomatoes, red bell pepper, jalapeno pepper, cilantro, red onion, lime juice, vinegar, salt, and black pepper in a bowl; fold avocado into the mixture. Cover bowl with plastic wrap, putting it right on top of salsa; chill at least 2 hours.

BEAN AND CORN TORTILLA LASAGNA WITH AVOCADO

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (205 C). Saute onions for about 5-7 minutes in a small spray of non-stick spray. Add garlic, cook for 1 minute. In a large bowl, combine tomato sauce, chili powder, cumin, oregano, allspice, salt, pepper, hot sauce, agave nectar, garlic, onion, and beans and stir to mix well.
• Lightly oil an 8x12-inch baking dish. Pour half of mixture into baking dish and tip back and forth to distribute evenly. Place half of tortillas on top of mixture (use 2 whole tortillas and cut a third to cover spots, or cut them all into strips). Place avocado slices on top of tortillas and season with a pinch of salt. Distribute corn kernels over avocado, then drizzle with lime juice. Top this layer with remaining tortillas, spread with remaining sauce, and sprinkle with crushed tortilla chips, then cheese.
• Cover with foil and bake for 20 minutes, then uncover and bake another 7-10 minutes, until the cheese is melted and the casserole is bubbling at edges. Remove from over and sprinkle with cilantro.

BLACK BEAN TOSTADAS WITH AVOCADO SALSA

Steps:

• Heat oven to 200C/180C fan/gas 6. Brush the tortillas with a little of the oil and place in a single layer on baking sheets. Cook for 8 mins until crisp.
• In a large frying pan, heat the remaining oil. Add the onion and garlic, and cook for 5 mins. Add the spices, vinegar and honey. Cook for 2 mins more. Add the beans and seasoning, and heat through.
• Remove from the heat and mash the beans gently with the back of your spoon to a chunky purée. Spread some beans over the crispy corn tortillas, scatter with your choice of toppings and add a spoonful of crème fraîche to cool down, or a splash of chipotle Tabasco to spice it up.
