Black Bean Pico

Black bean pico is delicious. Black bean pico is addictive. Black bean pico might be the best snack/dip/condiment EVER. I actually stole the recipe from my sister and have been masquerading it as my own for years. But in a way it is my own... her original recipe included corn. I do not eat corn. I made the corn hit the road in my version.

I usually start making black bean pico on a regular basis when football season starts. Last Friday was the first University of Houston game and this was my contribution to our tailgating party. Someone told me they could eat it with a spoon and nothing else. Normally I like mine with tortilla chips, or on a burger, or chicken, or a breakfast taco, or just about anything else. And wouldn't you know there was some leftover... or did I just forget to bring it all to the tailgate. Oops. So guess what I did....

I ate some black bean pico with tortilla chips.

And then I made a burger with black bean pico.

And then I grilled some chicken with black bean pico. 

If I'd had eggs and tortillas, I would have made breakfast tacos with black bean pico.
