Ingredient Spotlight. Our Jalapeno White Balsamic Vinegar is the bright spark here — crisp, tangy, with a clean green heat that lifts the whole bowl. Alongside it, our Chipotle Infused Olive Oil brings a smoky, mellow warmth that tastes like the char off a grill.
Ingredients
- 2 cans corn, drained and rinsed
- 5 Tbsp Chipotle Infused Olive Oil, divided
- 3 Tbsp Jalapeno White Balsamic Vinegar
- 1 can black beans, drained and rinsed
- 1 red and 1 orange bell pepper, diced
- 3 cups grape tomatoes, quartered
- ½ small red onion, minced · ½ cup cilantro, chopped · ½ jalapeño, minced
- 5.3 oz plain Greek yogurt · 1 tsp lime juice · 1 tsp salt
- ½ cup cotija cheese · tortilla chips, optional
Instructions
- In a skillet over medium-high heat, sauté the corn in 1 Tbsp Chipotle oil until warm and lightly charred, 3–4 minutes. Cool.
- In a large bowl, combine the corn, black beans, bell peppers, tomatoes, red onion, cilantro, jalapeño, and Greek yogurt. Toss to coat.
- Drizzle in the remaining Chipotle oil, the Jalapeño balsamic, and the lime juice. Season with salt and toss again.
- Fold in most of the cotija, then finish with a final drizzle of Jalapeño balsamic and the reserved cheese. Serve with tortilla chips if you like.
Chef's Notes
- Char fresh corn on the grill in summer — it's worth the smoke.
- Made ahead, it only gets better as the flavors meld; add the chips at the last minute.
Make It Yours
- For a citrus-forward version, swap in our Persian Lime Infused Olive Oil for part of the chipotle oil.
