Ingredients
- 2 ½ cups corn , 2 cobs grilled corn, or 1 ½ cups frozen corn that has been thawed
- 1 cup canned black beans , rinsed and drained
- ⅓ cup chopped tomato
- ⅓ cup chopped red onion
- 2 tablespoons minced jalapeño , 1 medium jalapeño
- 2 tablespoons chopped cilantro
- 3 tablespoons fresh lime juice
- 1 tablespoon canola oil
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
- ½ teaspoon ground cumin
Instructions
- If grilling corn, simply cook it in the husk on a hot grill. I suggest keeping the corn in its husks to steam as it cooks. Close the lid, turn the corn every five minutes or so, for around 15-20 minutes. Remove the husks and silk and set aside to cool.
- Cut the kernels from the cooled grilled corn cobs, or thaw and rinse the frozen corn kernels and drain well. Add the corn to a medium size bowl with the black beans, tomato, red onion, jalapeño and cilantro. Drizzle with the lime juice, canola oil, ground cumin and kosher salt. Toss to coat. Eat with chips or tacos, or spoon over chicken or steaks.
