Black Bean Avocado Salsa

This has to be my favorite summer salsa. It’s colorful and fresh tasting. It makes a bunch, so invite some friends over. I like to take the lime after it’s been juiced and rub down the bowl I will be serving the salsa in. I also rub the lime on the plastic wrap this will help keep the avocados from turning brown. Don’t forget the tortilla chips!
