- 1 medium jalapeño, finely chopped
- 1 teaspoon cumin powder
- 1 teaspoon chili powder
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 1 can (15 oz) black beans, drained and rinsed

Instructions
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
Add the diced onion and sauté for 3-4 minutes until softened and translucent.
Stir in the minced garlic, red bell pepper, and jalapeño. Cook for another 3-4 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Sprinkle the cumin powder, chili powder, and smoked paprika over the vegetables. Stir well to coat evenly.
Add the black beans, pinto beans, and fire-roasted diced tomatoes (including their liquid) to the skillet. Mix thoroughly.
Stir in the corn kernels and bring the mixture to a gentle simmer. Let it cook for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the liquid reduces and the flavors meld together.
Remove the skillet from heat and stir in the lime juice and chopped cilantro.
Season with salt and black pepper to taste. Adjust the spices if desired.
Serve the spicy bean mix warm as a filling for burritos or tacos, or enjoy it with rice, tortilla chips, or as a standalone dish.
