BLACK BEAN AND CORN SALAD - SPICY MEXICAN SALAD/SIDE DISH



Black Bean and Corn Salad - Spicy Mexican Salad/Side Dish image

A spicy, crisp, fresh vegetable salad. This salad should be made several hours before it is served....to marinate the vegetables and blend the flavors. I personally don't cook the corn I cut from the cobb, just a personal preference. If corn isn't in season a good quality frozen corn is a perfect substitution - I don't even defrost it! The produce you use should be top quality for a superior result.

SALPICON (SPICY MEXICAN BEEF SALAD)



Salpicon (Spicy Mexican Beef Salad) image

This hearty recipe is from The Border Cookbook by Cheryl and Bill Jamison. This is one of those "flexible" recipes. It serves a lot as a meal, and more as an appetizer. You can adjust the heat by reducing or eliminating the chipotles, or by substituting a milder chile. You can serve it warm, or cold. It's a great party recipe because you can partially prepare a few days before the event. You can prepare the meat in the crockpot, oven, BBQ, or pressure cooker, if you prefer. I've listed the stove top version.

Time 4h40m

Yield 24 appetizer servings, 10 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 24

3 1/2-4 lbs fully trimmed beef brisket, section (flat cut)
1 large onion, chopped
8 cups beef stock
2 bay leaves
3 cloves garlic, minced
2 canned chipotle chiles
2 teaspoons salt
1 teaspoon black peppercorns
2 tablespoons reserved beef broth, from boiled brisket
1/3 cup chipotle chile in adobo
6 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
4 tablespoons fresh lime juice
2 tablespoons white vinegar
1 tablespoon ketchup
1 tablespoon minced onion
1 clove garlic, minced

fresh coarse ground black pepper
4 small roma tomatoes, diced
2 ripe avocados, diced
1 medium red onion, diced
6 ounces monterey jack cheese, in small cubes
1/2 cup chopped fresh cilantro
radish, cut in roses for garnish (optional)

Steps:

  • Prepare brisket: In a Dutch oven or a small stockpot, combine meat with onion, stock, bay leaves, garlic, chipotles, salt and peppercorns.
  • Bring mixture to a boil over high heat, skimming off any foam.
  • Reduce heat to low, cover and simmer 3 1/2 to 4 hours or until the meat is falling-apart tender.
  • Let cool 30 minutes in cooking liquid.
  • Reserve 2 tablespoons cooking liquid for salad dressing and save remainder, refrigerated, for a Southweswtern soup or stew.
  • Pull meat apart into shreds.
  • (The dish can be made ahead to this point and refrigerated 1 or 2 days. Before proceeding, warm foil-wrapped meat in oven.) To make dressing: In a blender or food processor, combine reserved brisket liquid, chipotles, olive oil, lime juice, vinegar, ketchup, onion, garlic, salt and pepper and purée.
  • To complete salad: In a bowl, mix brisket with about 3/4 of the dressing.
  • Transfer brisket to a serving platter or bowl and toss it lightly with tomatoes, avocados, onion, cheese and cilantro.
  • Drizzle additional dressing over top, enough to make the mixture moist.
  • Garnish with radish roses if desired.
  • Serve warm with fresh hot tortillas, or chilled with tortilla chips for dipping.

SPICY MEXICAN SALAD (VEGAN WITH RAW OPTION)



Spicy Mexican Salad (Vegan With Raw Option) image

This originated from an article in Common Ground magazine. If you use sprouted lentils it's 100% raw. To do that you obviously have to plan ahead, so cooked/tinned black beans are a great sub. This salad is super healthy, fresh and tastes great! Serve immediately after preparing, or chill for up to two hours.

SPICY MEXICAN SALAD



Spicy Mexican Salad image

Spicy and not to mention healthy salad with corn and black beans that has no oil in it. I grilled corn on the cob and sliced the corn off the cob and used it instead of canned but canned can be used. I serve it with grilled chicken and a slab of cornbread. Yum! This is best if made the night before.
