Perfect Margarita Pairing

With all the ingredients for frozen margaritas in the fridge, my mom decided to have margaritas at home with one of her co workers instead of going to their regular margarita spot. So to go with the chips and salsa that my mom was going to serve, I decided to make a corn and black bean guacamole.

Corn and Black Bean Guacamole 

1/2 sweet onion - diced 
1 clove garlic - minced 
2 tablespoons cilantro - chopped 
2 avocados - diced
1/2 can corn - drained
1/2 can black beans - drained and rinsed
1/2 lime - juiced
Salt and pepper

Combine all the ingredients in a bowl and mash avocado together.
Serve with chips and salsa and a sprinkle of chopped cilantro.

This summer has been surprisingly cool as far as the heat, especially for summer in the city. So its nights like these that are nice to spend on the deck with a cold drink and good food. Even though the mosquitoes are viscous, it's still nice to be able to enjoy outside without having to hide in the air conditioning. So till next time,
Keep Cooking Brooklyn!
