• Ready In: 10mins
• Ingredients: 6
• Serves: 2

ingredients

• 1 (12 ounce) can corn, niblits
• 1 (19 ounce) can black beans, not rinsed
• 8 pieces sliced hot peppers, Aurora brand (in oil)
• 1⁄2 teaspoon dried chile
• 1⁄3 cup white cheddar cheese, grated
• fresh ground black pepper, to taste

directions

1. Empty corn and beans in their juice into a pot and mix together.
2. Warm on meduim-low until heated through, about 7 minutes - if the liquid starts to boil and the corn begins to smell like popcorn, it is overcooked and will not taste as good.
3. If using chili peppers, add at the end of cooking time and stir to spread flavor evenly.
4. If using Aurora hot peppers, chop and add as topping to beans and corn once served. (Add a drizzle of oil from the pepper jar for extra spice.).
5. Divide beans and corn between two plates, add Aurora hot peppers and sprinkle cheese as topping.
6. Top with freshly ground black pepper. Enjoy!
