Loaded with creamy black beans, sweet corn, and juicy tomatoes, this spicy bean salsa is the ideal Tex-Mex appetizer to serve at your next plant-based BBQ. Cumin, paprika, and chili powder—the trifecta of smoky spices—liven up this WFPB rendition of “cowboy caviar.” Serve this chunky black bean salsa on its own, with baked tortilla chips, or over baked potatoes. To serve as a smoother dip, place all of the ingredients in a food processor and pulse five or six times so the dip is creamier but still has some texture.
