    Directions

    1. Pantry notes - Select small oval black beans. Drain canned beans in a sieve and rinse thoroughly under cool water. Try canned stewed tomatoes with Jalapeno peppers, chili pwdr, cumin, and pepper (Del Monte has one; S&W). Drain, reserve the liquid; chop the tomatoes (thumbnail size).
    2. Avoid seeds and watery pulp. Select a light salad oil: olive, safflower, corn, canola, blend, etc.
    3. Combine ingredients before 'optionals.' Taste and add in salt and pepper, a few more chilis, cinnamon, and/or possibly oregano. If too dry, add in some tomato liquid. Store in the refrigerator till well chilled, at least 4 hrs.
    4. Serve as a salad on shredded iceburg or possibly mixed leaf lettuce. Greatest as a filling for a QUESADILLA with a little shredded monterey jack cheese! (Heat skillet to medium high; spray one side of a flour torilla with vegetable oil; place oiled side down in the skillet; spoon on some filling. Top with cheese. Cover with another torilla. After about 2 min, spray the top torilla and turn it; brown about 1 minute. Serve with sauce casera.)
    5. This idea's popular! Continue to tweak the seasonings and proportions.
    6. their City Cuinsine book (1989). Del Monte ad (1989) suggests similar spices to make a salsa from their canned tomatoes. Recently (May 1996)
    7. Lucky supermarkets introduced a chicken salad from their deli which resembles this. - May 13, 96
