⏱️ Prep: 10 min
Ingredients
Bell Pepper 1
Black Beans 1 can, 15 oz
Canned Corn 1 can, 15 oz
Cumin ½ tsp
Lime 1, juiced
Olive Oil 1 tbsp
Onion ¼, finely diced
Salt ¾ tsp
Instructions
  1. Drain and rinse corn and black beans in a colander.
  2. Finely dice bell pepper and red onion (use only ¼ of an onion — raw onion is powerful).
  3. Add everything to a bowl: corn, black beans, bell pepper, diced onion.
  4. Add olive oil, lime juice, cumin, salt, and hot sauce if desired.
  5. Toss well and let sit 10 minutes before serving — this time lets the flavors meld and the lime starts to soften the onion.
  6. Taste and adjust: more lime for brightness, more salt, or more cumin.
  7. Serve with tortillas, over rice bowls, as a taco topping, or with eggs.
