Beans & Corn Salad

OK so it is not Friday Recipe, but I wanted to share something I did today; when Bayo likes something a lot he says this exact same phrase: "Yo pudiera comer esto otra vez" -I could eat this again- but it's the way he says it so happy like giving me a hint to cook it again, ohhh I love this guy so much. So I did this today thinking he was going to hate (just like I know my sis will -she is a bean hater- YOU ARE!!!) and HE LOVED IT, he repeated it 3 times and kept saying the phrase over and over ;)
I cannot get full credit for this because it is MckMama's Corn & Bean salad, but I made own version because either I wanted to change it bit or they didnt have the same ingredients in my supermarket, the changes for my version I will put in red so you can choose what version to do, they are both YUMMY!!!


4th of July Corn & Bean salad, MckMama style or Vanessa style

First, gather the following ingredients:
1 can of garbanzo beans, drained
1 can of pinto beans, drained (I used red beans)
1 can of black beans, drained
1 can of corn, drained
2 cans Ro Tel with cilantro and lime (they dont sell that here so I used Mexican Salsa -the chunky one)
one leek, sliced (1 red onion chopped)
2 Tablespoons Italian Dressing
dashes of chili powder, cumin and garlic powder (I dont have chili powder so I used chinese hot pepper paste, is like a chinesse Tabasco they sell at the chinesse market, didnt used cumin at all, and instead of garlic powder I used pureed garlic)
1/2 of a fresh lime (since I didnt used the Ro Tel that has lime in it I used 4 small limes instead of 1/2)
fresh cilantro (lots of it, I LOVE THAT THING)
salt


Mix everything and serve cold, ENJOY!!!

















This is the Ro Tel you use...






This is what I used instead :D

and that is the pepper paste that I used (not the same brand but you get the idea) this thing is HOT, so 1/2 spoon will do it!!!
