Mine is this corn and bean salad - I replaced peppers with cherry tomatoes and it give it extra brightness! I also replaced the Adobe with chili powder and red pepper flakes...much easier to come by!

    Loved the recipe,thank you! Quick trick for the chipotle in adobo sauce since its a pain to chop each time you need it....I put the entire can, (LaCostena 7oz) in a small food processor and blend it all until it looks like a paste. (And I mean the whole can: seeds, sauce, peppers all of it. Once it's in a paste you use the amount for your hot preference.) Save it in the fridge and spoon out whatever I need for a recipe, or add it to mayo for a sandwich, or add to light sour cream with lime juice for an aoli sauce on fish. It lasts FOREVER in the fridge, though if you put it in a plastic container it does stain it a bit, so I use the same one each time I make it.
