Sure, that fried tortilla bowl and mounds of guacamole,
cheese and sour cream taste great—but you might as well have a chimichanga if
that's what your go-to Mexican salad entails. This lighter version packs in the
flavor (not the calories) with fresh herbs and toasted sunflower seeds. Plus,
the black beans and corn make it surprisingly rich in fiber.
- 2 ounces black beans, cooked
- 1 ounce corn kernels, grilled
- 3 baby tomatoes, halved
- ½ ounce red onion, finely diced
- 1 teaspoon fresh cilantro, minced Dash of Tapatio hot sauce
- 3 ounces mixed baby greens
- ½ ounce sunflower seeds, toasted
- 1/5 avocado, thinly sliced
- 1 ½ tablespoons lemon juice Drizzle of chipotle BBQ sauce
In a small bowl, toss black beans, corn kernels, tomatoes,
red onion and cilantro with a dash of Tapatio sauce. Combine black bean mixture
with the rest of the ingredients and toss with lemon juice and BBQ sauce. Serve
immediately.
