Delicious Charred Corn & Black Bean Salsa Recipe

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!
