This recipe is perfect for when that chips n dip craving strikes, or serve it as a side with marinated air fryer salmon or use it as a topping for my fried chicken tacos.

Can You Make It Ahead Of Time?

Ideally, you want to make this black bean salsa at least an hour ahead of time to really let all of those flavors meld together. It will keep well in an airtight container for 2 to 3 days. It travels really well, so it’s perfect for picnics, potlucks and cook outs.

Is it spicy?

As with all good salsas, this does have a slight kick to it, in the form of green chilis and hot sauce. It’s not overly spicy, burn your mouth off. If you prefer it milder, you can reduce the amount of green chilis added.

What do you serve it with?

Use this black bean salsa in a way you would use any salsa recipe. Serve it with your favorite tortilla chips or as an easy to throw together side dish. It’s great for topping tacos, enchiladas and chili. Or, just eat it straight out of the bowl with a spoon! That’s what I do.

Recipe Notes and Tips

This simple salsa comes alive when you use the freshest ingredients. Be sure to use fresh lime juice, not the bottled stuff and fresh cilantro and a ripe tomato.
Black beans work best in this recipe, but you can substitute them for other canned beans you have in your cupboard.
Let the salsa sit for at least one hour before serving.
