Ingredients

  • 1 cup of fresh corn kernels
  • 1 large tomato, thinly sliced
  • 1 jalapeno pepper, deseeded and halved
  • 6 garlic cloves, cut in half
  • 2 teaspoons of high-quality olive oil
  • 1 can (15 ounces) of black beans, thoroughly rinsed and drained
  • 1 can (15 ounces) of fire-roasted tomatoes
  • 2 teaspoons of aromatic chili powder
  • 1 teaspoon of earthy cumin
  • 1 teaspoon of salt for seasoning
  • Juice of half a lime

Step 1

Position an oven rack around 6 inches away from the heat source, readying the broiler for action.

Step 2

In a spacious bowl, combine corn, juicy tomatoes, spicy jalapeno, pungent garlic, and a drizzle of olive oil, giving them a gentle toss to coat.

Step 3

Spread out the oiled mixture evenly on a baking sheet, then slide it into the heated oven to broil until a slight char begins to form on the veggies, typically around 5 minutes.

Step 4

Once done, take the baking sheet out and allow the ingredients to cool off a bit for about 5 minutes.

Step 5

Next, transfer the slightly charred medley into a food processor along with black beans, fire-roasted tomatoes, aromatic chili powder, earthy cumin, a pinch of salt, and a splash of zesty lime juice.

Step 6

Blend the ingredients together in the processor until you reach your desired texture, and voilà – your flavorful creation is ready to be enjoyed!

Extra Tips & Suggestions

  1. 1. After charring the corn, store it in an airtight container to maintain its smoky flavor.
  2. 2. Keep the black beans separate from the salsa until serving to prevent them from getting soggy.
