To Prepare Smashed Black Beans
- 1. Heat a skillet over medium heat. Add cumin seeds. Roast until dark and the aroma is evident.
- 2. Place roasted seeds in a spice grinder. Process until a fine powder.
- 3. Place all ingredients in a food processor or blender. Pulse until slightly chunky. Cover and place in the refrigerator until ready to use.
Note: If the portion of roasted cumin seeds is too small to use a spice grounder, roast and process more seeds. Or, place roasted seeds in a mortar and pestle and grind until a fine powder. Use 1/4 teaspoon of powered roasted seeds per 1 cup of beans. Place leftover roasted seeds in an airtight container and use them within seven days.

- 1. Preheat oven to 425 degrees Fahrenheit.
- 2. Toss corn with oil and place in a single layer on a sheet tray, making sure not to overcrowd.
- 3. Roast in the hot oven for 5 to 7 minutes or until kernels are browned. Stir occasionally to promote even browning. Remove from heat and allow to cool.
To Prepare Fresh Pico De Gallo
- 1. Combine all ingredients. Mix well. Cover and place in the refrigerator until ready to use.
NOTE: Use gloves to handle peppers because pepper juice can burn the eyes. Wash your hands thoroughly with soap and water after handling the peppers.
