    Jump to Recipe

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

    Believe me, I would have much rather dined at a Mexican restaurant sippingΒ 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!
