This simple recipe is flavored with earthy Mexican inspired spices: cumin, paprika, chili powder and garlic. The quick side dish is filled with sweet pops of corn, creamy black beans, spicy jalapenos and finished with tangy lime juice for a delicious, healthy bite!
Why I Love This Recipe
I find myself getting bored with the usual sides, but this healthy, spiced recipe adds the perfect variety to any side dish rotation. Because this recipe is done in only 17 minutes, it is a simple, easy fix. Mexican Spiced Corn And Beans are made from ingredients you probably keep on hand: canned black beans, canned corn, jalapeno or poblano peppers, onions, and common pantry spices.
I not only love serving this flavor packed side dish during taco night, but also with baked chicken, fish, or pork chop dinners. This tangy, earthy recipe really amps up the flavor of these simple quick meals. Plus, it's not only a tasty side dish, but it also has 5g protein and 5g fiber per serving!
Cooking Tips
Don't skip toasting the spices until fragrant before adding the beans and corn. This will ensure your dish is infused with savory, earthy flavor.
Furthermore, adding lime juice to Mexican Spiced Corn And Beans last ensures you get that tangy punch of flavor in every bite.
This is my favorite 100% lime juice to have on hand.
