Happy Cinco de Mayo!


A recipe in honor of the day (and by special request from Davo, the Cuatro de Mayo king):



Easy "Homemade" salsa:
1 small jar store-bought salsa (hence the "homemade" part)
1 red bell pepper, chopped
1 orange bell pepper, choppped
1 jalapeno pepper, seeds removed (or left in, if you're brave...can you take the heat?), minced
1 red onion, chopped
1 garlic clove, minced
1 15 oz. can black beans, drained and rinsed
1 15 oz. can sweet corn, drained
1 avocado, cubed
1 cup fresh, chopped cilantro (you can use less if you're not a cilantro fiend, like me)
the fresh-squeezed juice of 1 lime
salt and red pepper to taste

Mix it all up. Put it in a pretty bowl. Pour yourself a margarita. You done good.

You have no idea how happy I am to see this. You brought it to Leslie's party, and then took it with you when you left. I hated you for doing that.
