Makes 10 servings

Ingredients

  • 2 15 ounce cans black beans, drained and rinsed
  • 2 cups corn kernels fresh or frozen
  • 1 red bell pepper diced
  • 1 small onion diced
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 2 teaspoons ground cumin
  • 1 teaspoon chili powder
  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • Juice of 1 lime
  • 1/4 cup vegetable broth

Instructions

  • Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering.
  • Add the corn and let it sit untouched for 1 to 2 minutes before stirring, until it picks up light char spots.
  • Add the bell pepper and onion and cook 3 to 4 minutes, until softened.
  • Stir in the black beans, cumin, chili powder, paprika and salt.
  • Add the vegetable broth and simmer 4 to 5 minutes, stirring, until most of the liquid has absorbed and the mixture clings together.
  • Remove from heat and stir in the lime juice just before serving.

Good to Know

Swap the vegetable broth for chicken broth if the table isn't strictly vegetarian; the texture stays the same.
