Black Bean and Corn Salsa - and how we plan to make our million

We like salsa, actually we love it (especially Cody). It's the only way I'll ever eat chips (and then only if they're baked), but I love it with pita bread, on chicken, or pretty much any way you can serve it. My favorite is Sam's Choice (Wal-Mart brand) Corn and Black Bean Salsa, while Cody prefers Pace Chunky that he adds tons of hot sauce to. And therein lies the quandry - I like as much healthy stuff as possible and Cody just wants it as hot as possible.

So this weekend he decided to make some homemade salsa. He found a Black Bean and Corn salsa recipe we both could agree on online (though he was disappointed it contained no habenaro peppers) so we decided to give it a shot. Yummy!!! It has black beans, corn (as the name implies), two tomatoes, an onion, red pepper, juice of two limes, fresh cilantro and cumin. He bought some Tostito's with a hint of lime (I was very apprehensive about this at first) and they are awesome with the salsa.

So, we've decided that's how we're going to make our millions (forget this engineering and law thing)! We're going to keep testing out salsa reciepes until we make one of our own we love and then market a healthy version and a hot and spicy version. We'll sell our "local/ homemade/ fresh" salsa at local farmer's markets until the grocery stores will pick it up - then we'll move world wide! Now we just need a catchy name and we'll be off!
