15 Minute Black Bean, Corn & Avocado Salad

Jump to Recipe

On a stormy Cinco de Mayo night, I decided to stay in and cook. I made this healthy Black Bean Corn Avocado Salad.

Believe me, I would have much rather dined at a Mexican restaurant sipping a mango margarita on the rocks, eating some fresh guacamole, and indulging in smoky chicken enchiladas, but I just couldn't get myself to go out in the pouring rain. Laziness - that's me!Black Bean Corn Avocado Salad

Staying in was the right decision as sometimes cooking is therapeutic for me, especially after a long work week.Black Bean Corn Avocado Salad

Once I turned on my Instrumental Spanish Guitar Music, I was most certainly relaxed and ready to cook.Black Bean Corn Avocado Salad

The menu consisted of grilled chicken tacos and chicken nachos along with this delicious Black Bean Corn & Avocado Salad.

The only thing I missed were the margaritas, but I'll make up for it soon. Hope you all had a wonderful Cinco de Mayo!
