We've just moved to the SouthWest.
and
I'd like to edge my way into TexMex cooking.

Unfortunately, my wife and I are two
that taste soap when we eat cilantro.

On the bright side, there's a FoodCity supermarket in town.
A WIDE variety of Mexican food products.

I'm ready to venture into a corn-bean salad I tasted once.
Can anyone provide a favorite recipe that doesn't require
too many exotic ingredients ??

My suggestion is to start learning the different tastes in a simple,
uncomplicated manner. when my uncle George came down to Mexico, never having
tasted Mexican food, we gave him a heated corn tortilla with a bit of butter
on it, rolled into a tight taco. He loved them! The next day we did the same
except not with butter, but with some avocado pulp and salt with a tad bit
of onion and cilantro. By the third day we had him eating soft tortilla
tacos filled with finely chopped broiled beef and a tad bit of fresh green
and red salsa.

For you, I would suggest the fourth day to take one of the leftover corn
tortillas, deep fry it until crisp, spread some refried beans on one
surface, sprinkle with parmesano cheese and some chicharones plus a slice or
two of avocado and enjoy one of Mexico's true delights - a tostada.

If you get back to us after your experimental dive into Mexican taste, we
will give you more. You could go through life without ever having the same
Mexican meal twice!

Drain and rinse one can black beans. Add defrosted white corn,chopped red
onion, a little roasted red pepper, and a bit of minced jalapeno. Dress
with lime juice, oil, salt and pepper. I use a bit of dried cilantro as my
husband doesn't like the "soapy" taste of fresh.

And of course some garlic. Never forget the garlic (Life Rule #2).
Possibly add some of that canned green chiles (small can)...if you can't
get fresh.

Tex-Mex is not Mexican cooking. At least, not the way I know it.

Easy way is to buy a package of frozen fire roasted corn, 1 can of black
beans in water, jalapeño peppers minced fine, lime juice, diced tomatoes,
and diced green onions, cilantro is used but can be omitted, or added to
your taste.

Thaw the fire roasted corn, drain the black beans and wash, combine the two,
mince the jalapeño and add a little at a time to your taste, add a small
amount of the lime juice (taste it till you like it), add diced tomatoes,
green onions, salt & pepper. Taste it then take a small amount and slowly
add some cilantro to it. If you find that you do not like the taste, leave
the original batch as is.
