Get ready to elevate your Tex-Mex game with this vibrant and flavorful Black Beans & Corn recipe adapted from one of the home-chefs inspiration, Bobby Flay.

The great thing about this recipe is that it comes together with affordable, bright produce and a kitchen staple: canned beans. I love getting locally sourced peppers and corn from the farmers market on Saturday morning –– knowing you are supporting your small local farmers makes this side dish feel sustainable, chic, and extra satisfying..
