Adapted from "The America's Test Kitchen Healthy Family Cookbook"

Calories: in 1/2 cup, approx. 150


1 tbsp olive oil
1 can corn (you can use fresh cut off the cob or frozen)
1 can black beans, rinsed
1 tomato, chopped
1/3 cup chopped fresh cilantro
1/3 cup chopped green onions
3 tablespoons lime juice (from limes or a bottle)
3 tsp minced canned chipotle chilis in adobo sauce
1/4 tsp honey
2 avocados, cut into medium size pieces

1. Saute the corn in the olive oil over medium heat until golden brown (about 8 minutes).
2. Mix in bowl: beans, tomato, cilantro. Add corn.
3. In another bowl: mix green onions, lime juice, chipotle peppers and honey. Pour over veggies in other bowl.

We ate this with a whole wheat tortilla and it was amazing! And SO healthy!
