Black Bean Relish Snack

Black Bean Relish Snack

Hi everyone. I have been reading a book called You On a Diet by Dr. Oz. It is a great book about how your body works to process the foods you eat. It is not about starting a diet and trying to lose weight, it is a very in depth explanation about your body function and it makes you want to eat the very best you can because the alternative is scary stuff.

Matt and I have every Friday with no kids. It is his day off and all the kids have school so we try to go somewhere for the day. Today we went hiking up the Kalama River Road into some logging areas. It was a great hike and we got a great workout. Before we left I packed up a lunch of black bean relish and Flatout wraps. Before we left I threw it together and it literally took me 5 minutes. It is this easy:

Drain a can of black beans and a can of diced tomatoes. Add corn, chopped red onion, garlic, cilantro and a can of green chillies. For the seasoning I added cumin, chili powder, cayenne pepper and dash of salt. OK the secret to this recipe is drizzle with olive oil and apple cidar vinegar. It is wonderful. Pile on top of pieces you rip off the flatout wrap. Be creative. If you love different spices, add them. You really can't go wrong. This is a very easy and tasty snack.

My recipe has about enough for 4 servings. The calories per person would be 100 calories for the relish and 100 calories for a whole wrap. I hope you all try this and love it as much as Matt and I do.
