Black Bean, Corn & Mango Salad
This dish immediately took us back to Mexico for the night (sans tequila). The fruity tropical flavors makes this the perfect side dish to piping hot fajitas and it is so simple to make. It’s amazing the “dressing” only consisted of lime juice, salt, pepper, and cumin, yet it was so flavorful from all the other ingredients.I remember the first time the boyfriend and I went to Tijuana 2 summers ago, we probably spent a total of one hour there, drinking tequila and eating quesadillas and then proceeded to be stuck in traffic for 8 hours just trying to get out of Mexico! Yeah, it was a disaster to say the least, don’t think we’ll be going back anytime soon!
