  • 1/2 cup corn kernels

  • 1/2 cup chopped tomatoes

  • 1/2 cup chopped lettuce

  • 1/2 cup chopped avocado

  • 1/2 cup chopped onion

  • 1 tsp chili powder

  • 1 tsp garlic powder

  • Rinse and soak the black beans overnight, then drain and rinse again.

  • In a saucepan, combine the black beans, 1/2 cup of water, and 1/2 tsp of salt. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low and simmer for 30 minutes.

  • In a small bowl, mix together the cumin, chili powder, garlic powder, and 1/2 tsp of salt.
