Instructions
Heat a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat.
Add the diced red bell pepper and sauté for 3-4 minutes until just starting to soften and lightly char.
Add the corn and cook for another 2-3 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the corn is golden and some kernels are lightly browned.
Add the drained black beans and stir to combine. Cook for 2-3 minutes until the beans are heated through and the mixture is fragrant and slightly caramelized.
Taste and season with salt and pepper if desired (optional, not counted as an ingredient). Serve warm as a taco filling in your favorite tortillas with desired toppings.
