Willys Balck Bean Corn Salsa

This is a black bean and corn salsa, a style that sits between a classic tomato salsa and a chunky bean dip. Products like this usually combine tender black beans and sweet corn kernels in a seasoned base, often with tomato, onion, peppers, lime and cilantro. Expect a thick, scoopable texture, with the beans giving an earthy, savory weight and the corn adding pops of sweetness. Heat level, ingredient ratios and exact seasoning vary by recipe, so check the label for the details of this jar. Because the texture is chunkier than a smooth salsa, it works best with sturdy tortilla chips, such as thick-cut or restaurant-style, that won't snap under the beans. At room temperature the flavors read fuller, and chilling it for an hour or so firms up the texture and brings out the acidity. Stir it once after opening, since any liquid tends to settle at the bottom. It also does more than dip. Spoon it over grilled chicken or fish, fold it into quesadillas, or use it as a topping for tacos, nachos and baked potatoes. Stirred into rice or mixed with diced avocado, it becomes a quick side or a burrito filling. For a heartier snack, top a bowl of chili or a fried egg with a spoonful. To drink with it, a crisp lager, a lime-forward margarita or a dry sparkling water with citrus all match its sweetness and acidity. Serve it in a shallow bowl so there's plenty of room to scoop.
