- 1 can (15 oz) black beans, drained and rinsed
- 1 cup frozen corn, thawed
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 1/2 cup diced red bell pepper
- 1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1/2 teaspoon chili powder

- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
Instructions
- In a large bowl, mix together 1 can of black beans, 1 cup of corn, 1 cup of cheddar cheese, 1/2 cup of diced red bell pepper, 1/4 cup of chopped cilantro, 1 teaspoon of cumin, 1/2 teaspoon of chili powder, 1/4 teaspoon of salt, and 1/4 teaspoon of black pepper.
