# Expert Tips:

01 -
  • It is astonishingly fast to make and travels well to potlucks.
  • The bright fresh flavors make chips taste like a celebration.
02 -
  • Drain the canned ingredients thoroughly or the dip will be watery and lack concentration of flavor.
  • Using a chunky fresh pico makes the texture lively while a smoother salsa gives a different but still tasty result.
03 -
  • Rinse the black beans until the water runs clear to remove excess starch and sodium.
  • Keep the corn and beans well drained and mix gently to preserve the texture.
