1 cup dry black beans 2 tablespoons fresh lime juice 1 can Chipotles in Adobo sauce (found in the Mexican food section of most grocery stores) 1 teaspoon salt 2 cloves garlic, minced

¼ cup olive oil, plus a bit more for brushing on corn 1 – 2 tablespoons cumin seasoning (recipe follows) 6 ears of corn, husks and silk removed ½ bunch chopped fresh cilantro 1 pint basket cherry tomatoes, halved ¼ cup diced red onion

Sort and wash the black beans. Place in a medium saucepan, cover with 3 inches of water. Bring to a boil, then lower the heat to barely simmer for about 1½ hours, until tender. Drain and cool.
Prepare a hot fire in the grill. Brush the ears of corn with olive oil, sprinkle with salt. Grill the corn, turning occasionally, until charred in spots, 10 to 15 minutes. Transfer to a plate.
To make the vinaigrette: Purée the Chipotles in Adobo sauce. In a bowl, whisk together the lime juice, 1 tablespoon Chipotle chili purée, salt, garlic, olive oil, and cumin seasoning.
When the corn is cool enough to handle, remove the kernels from the cobs and place them in a large bowl. Add the drained beans, cilantro, tomatoes, onions, and vinaigrette. Serve at room temperature.
