  1. Step 1:

    Step 1.

    How to make a salad with corn and beans? Prepare all the necessary products. I took canned beans and corn. But I know that there are many opponents of conservation. In this case, you can take dried or fresh corn and beans and just boil until ready. Garlic is a must here - it gives the necessary sharpness to the salad. If suddenly it is not there, then of course you can replace it with garlic powder, but it is better not to do this.

    Step 2.

    There are a lot of industrial-made flash drives now. With what flavors these crackers do not happen. But I strongly recommend cooking the tortillas yourself. It's simple and fast. And such crackers will be useful to you for many dishes, and just for a snack. They are very, very tasty and crispy. Thinly slice the black bread. You can also cut into larger pieces. I need the tortillas for salad, so I cut them into thin strips.

  3. Step 3:

    Step 3.

    Heat 100 ml of oil in a frying pan and fry the crackers until crispy. For a more useful option, you can dry them in the oven at 180 degrees for about 20 minutes.

  4. Step 4:

    Step 4.

    Crackers should be well browned.

  5. Step 5:

    Step 5.

    If fried in a frying pan with oil, then put the fried crackers on a paper towel to remove excess oil.

  6. Step 6:

    Step 6.

    Pour the remaining oil into the same pan where the crackers were fried, add the crushed garlic clove. Cook over low heat until the garlic is lightly browned. Carefully, garlic burns quickly. Garlic should give all its flavor to the oil.

  7. Step 7:

    Step 7.

    Pour the crackers with oil and garlic, add salt and mix. Delicious and fragrant crackers are ready.

  8. Step 8:

    Step 8.

    Drain the liquid from the beans and corn, mix.

  9. Step 9:

    Step 9.

    Add chopped garlic. I grate it on a fine grater, but you can chop it with a knife or pass it through a press.

  10. Step 10:

    Step 10.

    Add a little salt to the salad. Keep in mind that the tortillas will be quite salty.

  11. Step 11:

    Step 11.

    Season the salad with mayonnaise. I highly recommend using homemade mayonnaise. Well, or you can replace mayonnaise with sour cream, although mayonnaise is still more appropriate here.

  12. Step 12:

    Step 12.

    Mix the salad.

  13. Step 13:

    Step 13.

    Don't add the crackers to the salad right away - they may get wet. I recommend sprinkling the salad with scallops right when serving, or serve the breadcrumbs in a separate bowl with the salad. Enjoy your meal!

Any oils are useful only until a certain temperature is reached - the point of smoking, at which the oil begins to burn and toxic substances, including carcinogens, are formed in it. How to determine the roasting temperature and choose the best oil for frying, and which is better not to use at all, read here .

It is better to prepare mayonnaise yourself. It will be tastier and healthier. See the interesting ones here homemade mayonnaise recipes.
Also, as a dressing, you can use not only mayonnaise, but also sour cream or natural yogurt. They can be taken separately or mixed with mayonnaise in any proportion to your taste - this will reduce the calorie content of the dish.
