Ingredients

  • 6 medium Santa Fe Grande peppers
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 small onion, finely chopped
  • 1 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 cup corn kernels
  • 1 cup black beans, rinsed and drained
  • 1 tsp ground cumin
  • 1/2 tsp chili powder
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 1/2 cup shredded cheese,

Instructions

  • Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. When it shimmers, add the onion and sauté until translucent, about 3–4 minutes. Don’t rush it—good flavor doesn’t rush you back.
  • Add garlic and peppers. Stir and cook for 4–5 minutes until peppers soften and edges start to blister a little
  • Toss in corn, black beans, cumin, and chili powder. Stir to coat everything in spices; cook another 4–5 minutes. If it smells amazing, you’re on the right track.
  • Season with salt and pepper. Taste a bite and adjust. Want more kick? A pinch of cayenne works, but go easy—we’re honoring the pepper, not torching your tongue.
  • If you’re using cheese, sprinkle it in now and let it melt. Garnish with cilantro if you’re feeling fancy.
