Preparation

Step 1

Preheat a grill or a grill pan over med-heat.

In a small bowl, add ¼ cup of the canola oil, cumin, 2 teaspoons chili powder and season with salt and black pepper, to taste. Stir to combine. Brush each ear of corn liberally with the seasoned oil. Arrange corn on the hot grill and cook about 12 minutes, giving each ear a quarter turn every 3 minutes. Remove from grill and let cool 5 minutes. When cool enough to handle cut kernels from corn.

In a medium serving bowl, whisk together the remaining ¼ cup of canola oil, 1 teaspoon chili powder, lime juice, garlic, bell pepper, onions, beans and cilantro. Adjust the seasonings with salt and black pepper, to taste. Add the corn kernels and stir to combine. Mix the ingredients well and serve with tacos, if desired
