Mexican Black Bean Salad

April 4, 2012 By Jennifer @ PB and P Design 17 Comments

Hi Everyone,

What a beautiful day today.  It was sunny and in the mid 60’s.  My friend Andrea and I took a walk to the Farmers Market on our lunch.  There is something so peaceful about the Farmers Market.  There was music playing, free samples of fresh fruit and the vendors seemed like they were all in good moods.  I bought fresh tomatoes, basil, oranges, Bok choy, and freshly squeezed, no sugar added apple cider that tasted like I was eating an apple!   I  just love this time of year, it makes me want to fire up the grill and cook some fresh vegetables.

Today I have a colorful vegetable recipe for you, but not any of the goodies that I bought at the Farmers Market.  It was what do I have in my pantry and fend for yourself night.  So I grabbed a little of this and a little of that and came up with a wonderful Mexican Black Bean Salad.

I was craving black beans and tacos, but I thought I would take it up a notch and make it into a salad with plenty of left overs for lunch.  I made some yummy tasting tacos with it.  I used corn tortillas, and let me tell you the best way to have them is to take them and place them directly onto your gas burner.  Andrea told me about that and the flavors of the tortillas were the best I ever had.  I will forever eat corn tortillas that way.  They take about 20 – 30 seconds per side.  They get puffy and a little toasted.  You simply must try it that way, but stay with them, you don’t want a fire to start.  I used my tongs to flip them.


I made the salad using black beans, roasted corn, Edamame/soy beans, bell pepper onions and a jalapeno.  The flavors of this bean salad was wonderful.   Little spicy, but not too to.  I made this since it was fend for yourself night and I know no one in my family would care for this dish, but then Hubby saw it.  He wanted some tacos too.  I was shocked that he liked the black bean salad.  He said it would be good in his chili that he puts on his hot dogs.  Now thats amazing!  I think he must be coming around to my side.  Buahahaha!!

I have to admit, I love fend for yourself night, it’s my favorite dinner night of the week.  It’s so fun to create dishes that you love and not have to worry about others.  Do you ever have fend for yourself night?

Since this was such a low calorie dinner, I decided dessert would be nice too.  Remember the coconut angel food cupcakes I made?  I turned them into a little dessert for myself.

Now doesn’t that look tasty?  I think I am going to make angel food cake cupcakes every week.  There a perfect low calorie, low fat dessert and I just love them!!

Well my friends the sun is shining and I just feel great this week.  I decided that I need to try harder on my diet and exercising and so far, well it’s only Tuesday, I have been doing great!!  I am working out harder and eating better.  I am hoping to see a drop on the scale, but we shall see.  Bikini season is coming and that is just plain scary!!!  Eck!!!

I hope you have a great day!!  I’m so happy, only two more work days to go and I have a long 4 day weekend.  Woohoo!!  A little advice, if the sun is shining, get out there and enjoy it!!!

      The tortilla technique is the best! It tastes like a real Mexican restaurant. My Husband even commented on tortillas, funny, it’s the same tortillas I normally buy, amazing what a little flame will do to it. It would also work on a grill too!

    I love all the colors in this salad! Plus it remind me of summer – which I can’t wait for! I’m an onion-hater though so I’ll leave those out of my version and add LOTS of cilantro! 🙂

      Funny you said versatile like salsa, because I used it as salsa tonight on my chips, added a little hot sauce, it was perfect! 🙂

    I am eating these as I speak on top of a corn tortilla and I cannot thank you enough for such a deliciously simple and healthy recipe. I love the flavor that the corn tortilla adds to the blend of all the ingredients and the creaminess of the black beans is perfect with the tenderness of the edamame. You are the best!

Happy Tuesday! One thing you guys know about me is Happy Tuesday! One thing you guys know about me is that I love Target. It’s my happy place. I get so excited each season to see all the new things that come out. 
🌿
One thing I always love is there faux vase/pot flowers and plants. They are always so pretty and I want to buy them all. But there a couple of things that stops me. The biggest one is that I have no storage for them. Two, they seemed to have gone up in price. They seemed a little pricy to me. 
🌿
For my arrangement, I used one of my canisters for the bathroom. I used floral foam to stick the stems in and I used the paper towel as a filler because I only had very little bit of moss. If I had more moss and I would probably not use the paper towel. This arrangement cost me $5.99. 
🌿
Tip: If you look at Targets faux foliage stems only, they have a lot that are same of what use in there vases. The one I used was Hearth and Hand and was only $5.99 for a stem. The exact ones they used in there pots.
🌿
Hope you enjoy this as much as I have making it. 
Enjoy your day!

My husband decided to take vacation days this week, and my kitchen does not look so pretty. He has his 💩 everywhere. So annoying. 
💖
Here’s a little bit of the styling that I did. I will work on the coffee bar this weekend, though I’m running a blank on how to style it. I need some inspiration.

What do you do to get inspiration?

I’m sharing heart shaped cinnamon rolls that I made this weekend. I got the idea to make them from my friend Heidi @eleanorrosehome. She made the most delicious looking cinnamon rolls, that I couldn’t resist to make. So perfect for Valentines Day and sooooo easy! 
❤️
I took a can of Trader Joe’s cinnamon rolls and unraveled them, if that makes sense, and rolled them up like a palmier cookie. So fun! You could add food coloring to the frosting to make it pink and add sprinkles. Super cute! You can follow step by step recipe on Heidi’s Instagram page! 
❤️
Thank you Heidi for sharing the recipe. This was so fun!
❤️
Would you rather get chocolate or flowers for Valentines Day?

I’m sharing with you my corner of my living room. I love how open this space looks. I added greenery to give it a fresh look. I also stuck with mostly natural colors with an exception of some blues to bring my whole living room together.

Tomorrow I am going to start to share Valentines Day. My dining room is filling up with hearts. It’s so fun. I can’t wait to start sharing. Hope you have a beautiful day!
