Servings 6 people
Ingredients
- 2 ears of corn
- 1 can black beans, drained
- 1 can black-eyed peas, drained
- 3 tbsp butter
- 1/2 lime, juiced
- 1 jalapeño
- 1 cup EVOO
- 1 tomato, diced
- 1/2 red onion, diced
- 2 bell peppers, diced
- 1 peach, diced
- cilantro for topping
Dressing
- 1 tbsp hot honey
- 1/3 cup olive oil
- 1/4 cup red wine vinegar
- 1 tbsp sugar
- 1/2 lime, juiced
- salt and pepper to taste
The chips
- 6 tortillas, cut into triangles
- 4 cups+ oil for frying

Instructions
- Preheat oven at 375. Slice corn off the cob and add to a mini cocotte. Melt butter and add to the cocotte, along with lime juice. Cook for 10 min. Remove and let cool.
- In a medium pan, heat up olive oil and ¾ of the jalapeño (sliced). Cook for about 15 min on low and then drain and reserve oil.
- Depending on how many beans you want, you can cook the beans together or in 2 separate cocottes. For a can of each, you will need more than one cocotte. Divide oil between cocottes and beans and bake for 12 min. Remove and let cool.
- Make dressing and dice all ingredients and add to a large bowl.
- If you are making homemade tortilla chips, add oil to a Le Creuset dutch oven and when it's hot, add in sliced tortillas. Cook until golden brown. Remove and add to a paper towel. Enjoy!
