2 ears corn
1/4 c. finely chopped onion
1 (15 ounce) can black beans, rinsed and drained
1 jalapeno chile pepper, chopped, seeds in if you like it hot
1/2 c. chopped red bell pepper
1/4 c. chopped cilantro
1 Tbsp. canola oil
2 Tbsp. fresh lime juice
1 tsp. mild chile powder
1/2 tsp. ground cumin
Place the corn on the grill and roast, turning often, until golden brown on the outside, about 15 mins. When it cools, cut the kernels off into a bowl.
Add the onions, beans, jalapeno, red pepper, and cilantro.
Combine the oil, lime juice, chile powder, and cumin in a smaller bowl. Pour over the corn and bean mixture, and toss to mix. Let sit in the refrigerator for half an hour before serving.
