1 can black beans (small can-8 oz?)
1 can corn
1 jalepeno seeded
1 minced garlic
1 avocado-Ive used with and without-tastes just as good!
Chicken- OPTIONAL-I typically make this just vegetarian .

2 limes-juice only
1/4-1/2 cup high grade olive oil ( I eyeball it, just used twice as much olive oil as lemon juice)
a few pinches of CUMIN powder
a few pinches of SALT
Put in a bowl with lid and shake shake shake. Pour over salad and mix immediately.
