Black Bean Salsa with Baked Chips

I love trying new recipes to bring to parties! This appetizer caught my eye while I was flipping through my new "Power Foods" recipe book! Very easy and delicious!

We were too excited to try it, that we did not even take a photo ... The one in the book will have to do!
