Black Bean & Tomato Salsa

Adding canned beans to a spicy salsa is an easy way to boost fiber and improve nutritional value. This salsa is also a good accompaniment for burgers or Scrambled Egg Burritos.

1 cup seeded, diced plum tomatoes, (3-4 tomatoes)

1 cup canned black beans, rinsed

2 tablespoon chopped scallions

1 tablespoon chopped fresh cilantro, or parsley

1 tablespoon lime juice

1 1/2 teaspoons extra-virgin olive oil

1/2-1 teaspoon minced canned chipotle in adobo sauce, (see Ingredient Note)

1/8 teaspoon salt

Step 1
Combine all ingredients in a medium bowl; stir to blend. Refrigerate until ready to serve.

Ingredient Note: Chipotle peppers are smoked jalapenos with a fiery taste that are canned in adobo sauce. Look for them in the Hispanic section of large supermarkets and in specialty stores.
