2 ears fresh corn
7.5 ounces black beans (about half of one 15 ounce can of beans will work) rinsed and drained*

Begin by combining the ingredients for the avocado sauce in a food processor or blender. Process until smooth and set aside.
1 large avocado, 1 tablespoon sour cream, ¼ cup cilantro, 2 tablespoons lime juice, 3 tablespoons water

Remove the husk from your corn and char the corn in a large skillet with cooking oil.

Once your corn has cooled use a knife to remove the kernels from the husk then toss together with the black beans.

In a cast iron skillet, add about two tablespoons of cooking oil and allow the skillet to heat up.
Cut your salmon into taco sized pieces and sprinkle each side with blackened seasoning.
1 pound salmon, 2 tablespoons blackened seasoning
Heat additional oil in a large cast iron skillet over medium-heat. Add the salmon skin side down and cook until the sides are browned (about 4 to 5 minutes). Flip the salmon and then cook for another 3 to 4 minutes depending on the thickness.
Add the salmon to a warm tortilla with Cojita cheese, black bean and corn relish, and avocado sauce.
