Recipe of the week: "Flacito's Black Bean Salsa Salad"

This is one of my favorite recipes that I love to make to have as a Salad and/or Salsa for parties. I named it Flacito's Black Bean Salsa Salad, here is a photo I took of what I was eating to refuel after my 65 Mile ride with On Your Mark Cycling Club on Sunday. It is a Veggie burger with my salsa/salad over it with some cholula chipotle pepper sauce. The thing I love about this dish is that you can have it as a salad, salsa, taco filler/stuffer, nachos and as a burrito. There are so many ways you can have this dish plus, it is very healthy! with stomach filling protein and fiber. I have received so many compliments from it that I think everyone should be able to enjoy this healthy dish as much as I do.
