Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Prep the Vegetables

    Dice the red bell pepper, red onion, and jalapeño pepper into small pieces. Remove seeds from the jalapeño for less heat if desired. Chop the cilantro finely and set all the prepared vegetables aside.

Cooking

  1. 2

    Cook the Corn

    In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the corn kernels to the skillet and sauté for about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally until they start to get a light golden color.

  2. 3

    Add the Vegetables

    Stir in the diced red bell pepper, red onion, and jalapeño pepper into the skillet with the corn. Sauté the mixture for an additional 3-4 minutes until the vegetables are tender.

  3. 4

    Season the Mixture

    Sprinkle the cumin, paprika, salt, and black pepper over the corn and vegetable mixture. Stir well to combine all the ingredients and allow the flavors to meld for about 2 minutes.

  4. 5

    Finish with Lime and Cilantro

    Remove the skillet from heat and stir in the chopped cilantro. Squeeze the juice of the lime over the mixture and toss to combine. Adjust seasoning with additional salt and pepper if desired.
