ROASTED CORN AND BLACK BEAN SALSA
I like to make this dip at the beginning of corn season. when the corn is still really fresh and sweet. Its great as a dip with chips, topping on nachos or tacos, great on sandwiches for a southwestern flair

Steps:
- Remove silk from corn and fold the husks back over the corn. Grill on high heat until the husks are charred and the corn is tender.
- Chop onions and garlic. Place into bowl
- Juice two limes over the onions and garlic. The lime juice will start to cook the onions and garlic.
- Dice Bell Pepper and finely chop jalapeno add to bowl I like heat so I leave the seeds and ribs in my jalapeno but if you don't like heat remove the seeds and ribs.
- drain black beans and roasted tomatoes. You can always use fresh roasted tomatoes
- Rinse the black beans add to bowl
- Dice roasted tomatoes and fresh tomato, removing the seeds and as much juice as possible Add to bowl
- Finely chop cilantro add to bowl I don't like the way the stems taste so I always just remove most of the stem and finely chop
- Remove corn from the cob add to bowl
- add salt, pepper, cumin and chili powder to taste. Stir If you are going to add the cojita cheese remember that it is a rather salty cheese
- crumble cojita cheese over salsa right before serving and give a final stir I do a fine crumble and use about 1/4 a cup of the cheese but it depends on the amount of salt you have used in the salsa and how much you like cojita cheese
