Instructions

Position an oven rack approximately 6 inches from the broiler and preheat.
In a large bowl, combine corn, sliced tomato, jalapeño, garlic, and olive oil, ensuring vegetables are lightly coated; then, spread them evenly on a baking sheet.
Broil in the preheated oven until vegetables begin to char, approximately 5 minutes. Allow to cool slightly, about 5 minutes.
Move the charred vegetables to a food processor. Add black beans, fire-roasted tomatoes, lime juice, chili powder, cumin, and salt. Blend until you reach your preferred consistency.
