My mom made this all the time when I was a kid and I loved it, now I get to make it for my family. I love this recipe and its very forgiving for novice cooks like myself.

Great at room temperature. I'll try it chilled next time. I only used one jalapeño and one can of black beans along with fresh corn.

Delicious! Mixed with salad greens for a delicious salad, and no dressing was needed!

This is an easy to make recipe that goes well with fajitas or grilled chicken. If pressed for time, I use frozen corn and very rarely add the jalapenos. It's best if made ahead of time (adding the avocado right before serving).
