No Cook Chili Bean Salad

Ingredients
- 1 pint cherry tomatoes, halved
- 1/2 small onion, finely diced or 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 garlic clove, finely chopped, or 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 Tablespoon apple cider vinegar
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- 1 (15-ounce) can pinto beans, rinsed
- 1 (15-ounce) can black beans, rinsed
- 1 bell pepper, seeded and roughly chopped
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- Handful chopped cilantro leaves
- 1/4 cup oil, or more as needed
- 1 lime, quartered (optional)
- 1/2 to 1 jalapeño, seeded and chopped (optional)
- Any combination of corn chips, tortillas, sour cream, avocado and cheese (such as Cheddar, crumbled feta or queso blanco), for serving
Instructions:
- Place the tomatoes, onion, garlic, vinegar and 1 teaspoon salt in a bowl and toss to combine. Leave to marinate for 5 to 10 minutes. Using your hands, squeeze the tomatoes to crush them roughly, extracting juice and softening them.
- Next, add both types of beans, the bell pepper, cumin, paprika, oregano, jalapeño, cilantro and 1/4 cup olive oil; toss to combine. Taste and season with salt and pepper and more oil, if you like.
- Divide the salad among four serving bowls. Serve with lime wedges on the side, and top with desired toppings.
