FIESTA BEAN SALSA

• Cover bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for 30 minutes.

RED BEAN & CORN SALSA

Steps:

• 1. Get a large mixing bowl ready for all of the ingredients. Drain the kidney beans and peas, rinse well. Dump in the bowl. Drain the corn, and dump them in the bowl with beans and peas.
• 2. Add the Rotel tomatoes, V-8, onion, bell pepper, jalapeno, garlic, parsley, cilantro, and lime juice. Stir well and taste for seasoning. If you like it more spicy add the Tobasco and crushed red peppers; mix well. Cover and refrigerate - the longer the better. Serve with white Tortilla chips or Scoops. Enjoy!
• 3. *NOTES: To say that I am not fan of cilantro is a huge understatement and I don't like the smell of it fresh, so I use dried. If you love fresh cilantro and want to use 3 Tbsp in place of the dried, or triple the amount of fresh cilantro for the dried parsley - go for it. That is an herb that you either love or hate, but I found that 1 tsp dried in this recipe actually works well and gives it that authentic Bean & Corn salsa flavor. If you want to make this as a salad or side dish, leave out the V-8. I always make this at least 1 day ahead of time so the flavors will marry.

MEXICAN BEAN BURGERS WITH LIME YOGURT & SALSA

Steps:

• Heat grill to high. Tip the beans into a large bowl, then roughly crush with a potato masher. Add the breadcrumbs, chilli powder, coriander stalks and ½ the leaves, egg and 2 tbsp salsa, season to taste, then mix together well with a fork.
• Divide the mixture into 6, then wet your hands and shape into burgers. The burgers can now be frozen. Place on a non-stick baking tray, then grill for 4-5 mins on each side until golden and crisp. To cook from frozen, bake at 200C/fan 180C/gas 6 for 20-30 mins until hot through.
• While the burgers are cooking, mix the remaining coriander leaves with the yogurt, lime juice and a good grind of black pepper. Split the buns in half and spread the bases with some of the yogurt. Top each with leaves, avocado, onion, a burger, another dollop of the lime yogurt and some salsa, then serve.
