Spicy Mexican bean and corn sauce works as a dip for tortilla chips, a filling for tacos or wraps, or a topping for baked potatoes. Stir it into rice or spoon it over grilled vegetables for an easy meal.
Spicy Mexican bean and corn sauce is built around beans, corn and chilli. Tomato, onion, garlic, lime juice and spices are common additions, but the exact ingredients vary between homemade recipes and packaged versions.
To make spicy Mexican bean and corn sauce, mix cooked beans and corn with chopped tomato, onion, chilli, lime juice and spices. Mash some of the beans if you want a thicker dip, or leave everything chunky.
Spicy Mexican bean and corn sauce pairs well with tortilla chips, quesadillas, tacos and grilled chicken or vegetables. It also makes a hearty topping for nachos, baked potatoes or a grain bowl.
Make spicy Mexican bean and corn sauce less hot by leaving out some or all of the chilli and adding more tomato, beans or corn. Serving it with plain yogurt or avocado can also mellow the heat.
Spicy Mexican bean and corn sauce is chunkier and more filling than a typical tomato salsa because beans and corn are central ingredients. Salsa usually focuses on tomato, chilli, onion and herbs, though recipes vary.
Keep spicy Mexican bean and corn sauce covered in the refrigerator after opening, and use a clean spoon each time. Follow the package instructions for how long it keeps, and do not leave it at room temperature for extended periods.
Yes, you can freeze spicy Mexican bean and corn sauce, but the beans and corn may soften and the sauce may separate after thawing. Freeze it in a sealed, portion-sized container and thaw it in the refrigerator.
Yes, spicy Mexican bean and corn sauce makes a useful taco filling or topping. Spoon it in with lettuce, avocado or cheese, or combine it with another protein if you want a more substantial taco.
It can be too hot for children who are sensitive to chilli, since the heat varies with the recipe or product. Offer a mild version without chilli, or serve a small taste alongside a cooling dip.
