Avocado & Bean Salad

This recipe from book called Perfect Mexican. It is a Parragon Publishing book. I found a lot of recipes from this book. This salad originally serve with steak. I didn't cook steak. I increased the amount of spices and added jalapeno pepper because we love spicy food. I made this salad for my guest and they always asked me recipe.I'm sharing this recipe with all my friends and other people who like to cook.
Ingredients

6 garlic gloves
1/4 cup olive oil
juice of 1 lime
1 tbsp red wine vinegar
1 tsp chili powder
1 tsp ground cumin
1 tsp paprika

8 oz canned corn kernels, drained
17 oz canned red kidney beans, drained
2 avocado
2 ripe tomatoes
1 jalapeno pepper small chopped ( optional)
half cup fresh cilantro 
Handful of crisp tortilla chips.
