Target recipe: if using canned beans; rinse under cold water well. if using fresh you will need to cook them until tender. i use the canned, it's much easier. dice all veggies except your jalapeno and set aside (don't dice them too fine, you'll still want to have a nice bite to them - think same consistency as salsa) slice your jalapeno into thin round slices (use your judgement on these, less is more but if you're a lover of spicey food go for it!). place all your ingredients in a bowl, mix well, salt and pepper to taste and cover. chill for 2 hours or overnight. serve next to grilled or broiled meat.
