Delicious Pineapple Black Bean Salsa Recipe for Tacos

Ingredients

Servings:
4
  • 1 cup diced pineapple
  • 1 cup canned black beans, rinsed and drained
  • 1 cup red bell pepper, diced
  • 1 cup red onion, finely chopped
  • 1 cup fresh cilantro, chopped
  • 1 medium jalapeño, minced (seeds removed for less heat)
  • 2 tablespoons lime juice

Instructions

6 steps

  1. Prepare the Ingredients

    Dice the pineapple, red bell pepper, and red onion. Rinse and drain the black beans.

    Make sure to use fresh pineapple for the best flavor.
  2. Mix the Ingredients

    In a large bowl, combine the diced pineapple, black beans, red bell pepper, red onion, cilantro, and jalapeño.

    Use a spatula to gently fold the ingredients to avoid mashing the beans.
  3. Add Lime Juice

    Pour the lime juice over the mixture and stir gently to combine.

    Adjust the lime juice according to your taste preference.
  4. Season to Taste

    Add salt and pepper to taste, stirring well to incorporate.

    Start with a small amount and add more as needed.
  5. Chill the Salsa

    Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to let the flavors meld.

    The longer it sits, the better the flavors will develop.
  6. Serve

    Serve the pineapple black bean salsa with tortilla chips or as a topping for tacos.

    Garnish with extra cilantro for added freshness.
