Ingredients
– 2 medium shallots, very thinly sliced
– 2 small jalapeño peppers, thinly sliced into rounds (use 1 pepper for moderate heat; remove seeds for mild heat)
– 3 ½ tablespoons lime juice, plus more for serving
– 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil, plus more for grilling
– ½ teaspoon ground cumin
– Kosher salt or sea salt to taste
– Freshly cracked black pepper to taste
– 6 medium or 4 large ears of corn, husked
– 1 pint (about 300g) cherry tomatoes
– 1 (15-ounce/425g) can pinto beans or black beans, drained and rinsed
– ½ to ¾ cup (6-9g) cilantro leaves and tender stems, finely chopped
– 1 large ripe avocado, diced or torn into chunks
Instructions
1-Mix the shallots, jalapeños, lime juice, olive oil, cumin, salt, and pepper in a bowl and let it marinate for 20 minutes to develop bold flavors.
2-Heat a grill pan on high, brush the corn with olive oil, and grill for 10-12 minutes, turning occasionally until charred for that smoky touch.
3-Toss the cherry tomatoes with olive oil, salt, and pepper, then grill for 3-5 minutes until they are charred and wrinkly, adding depth to the salad.
4-Once cool, shave the kernels from the corn into a large bowl to keep things neat and ready for mixing.
5-Add the grilled tomatoes, marinated shallots and jalapeños with their liquid, pinto beans, and cilantro to the bowl and toss to combine everything nicely.
6-Gently fold in the avocado, then adjust the seasoning with lime juice, salt, and pepper as needed for the best taste.
