Fiesta Caliente Bean Salad

"A while back there was a supermarket adjacent to my job that had a bean salad that was out of this world that was served as part of their salad bar. I used to get it all the time for lunch. I've been trying to find a recipe like it but none of the recipes that I tried came close until I decided to wing it on my own. So this salad is a clone-like brother to the salad I was so fond of. It pares well with many meats and fish and is a great scooping condiment for tortilla chips. I hope you and yours love it as much as we do!"

  • Add cumin, black pepper, hot sauce, chili powder, barbecue seasoning, and stir over the heat to release the flavors being careful not to burn. Add water and stir until some of the water evaporates.
  • Add all the beans and corn. Mix thoroughly and heat through.
  • Add the the reserved olive oil / vinegar mixture. Stir to combine and cook for about 3-5 minutes until heated through. (This salad is meant to have some liquid, but if there is too much liquid cook a little extra to evaporate).

  1. This was super tasty, and pretty easy too (despite the long list of ingredients). The flavor is sort of a sweet and sour taste (between the sugars and the acids). The hot sauce really adds a lot of pop. I actually ended up adding about 1 T! Although this is a cooked bean salad, we chilled it and had it for lunch. It was perfect! Thanks for sharing. Made for Holiday Tag Game.

<p>Update: ?I've moved on out of food.com due to the changes to the site and deletion of interactive food games and forums (which was the staying-power for many of its members). I will now be interacting on recipezazz where there are cooking games and forums and where eventually I will be posting my recipes.?</p>
