4. Stir in the minced garlic and cook for an additional 30 seconds, being careful not to let it burn.

5. Add the diced red, yellow, and green bell peppers to the skillet. Sauté for 3-4 minutes, until the peppers are slightly tender but still vibrant.

6. Add the corn kernels to the skillet and mix well. Cook for 2-3 minutes, allowing the corn to heat through and lightly brown.

7. Season with salt, black pepper, and red chili flakes (if using). Stir everything together to ensure the seasonings are evenly distributed.
