Zesty Black Bean Salsa Moosh

Poor black beans...they are tasty and nutritious and good for you but yet so very VERY unpretty when mashed.  I know the moosh is not attractive, but if you could taste it through the screen, you would be as crazy about it as I am.

I used it to garnish a simple chicken fajita, but it works well as a dip, too, with some crispy tortilla chips, or as a flavorful layer for a layered dip.  The beans make give the moosh a creamy texture, but the added combo of the fresh lime juice and salsa give it a light open taste.

Zesty Black Bean Salsa Moosh

1 can (15 oz) black beans, drained and rinsed
1/3 cup hot salsa
1/8 cup fresh lime juice
2 tsp minced garlic

Rinse your beans and put then in a small bowl.

Add in the rest of the ingredients and blend together.  I like mine a little "chunky" so I used a mixer rather than a food processor.

Ready to serve.

For my fajita, I cut simply cut some chicken strips and sautee them with a tidge of oil, threw on some chili powder, cumin and fresh cracked sea salt, then cooked until they were no longer pink.

Yum-mee.
