Ingredients

  • 2 ears corn, husked

  • 1/2 red bell pepper, seeds and ribs removed

  • 1/2 green bell pepper, seeds and ribs removed

  • 1 poblano pepper, seeds and ribs removed, halved

  • 1 jalapeño pepper, seeds and ribs removed, halved

  • 1 cup each cooked pinto, kidney, and black beans

  • 1/4 cup red onion, diced into 1/4-inch pieces

  • 2 scallions, finely chopped

  • 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil

  • 2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar

  • Juice of 1 lime

  • 1 teaspoon ground cumin

  • 1 teaspoon chili powder

  • 1 1/2 teaspoon sea salt

  • 1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper

Directions

  • Spray the corn and pepper halves with cooking spray and place on a grill or grill pan that has been preheated to medium-high heat. Allow the vegetables to cook for 5-7 minutes, turning the peppers once and the corn 2 or 3 times. Remove the vegetables from the grill, and allow them to cool.

  • Cut the kernels off of the corn cob and place in a large bowl. Cut the peppers into 1/2-inch pieces and place them in the bowl with the corn. Add the beans, red onion, scallions, and remaining ingredients. Toss to combine.

  • The dish can be served immediately but tastes best after sitting for several hours to a day.
