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
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)

Mix everything and serve cold, ENJOY!!!

This is the Ro Tel you use...

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!!!
