I would simply use Trader Joe's frozen grilled corn to make it easier! Nothing earth shattering or unique about the recipe.

An absolute winner. We used 2 jalapeños as being grilled the peppers are milder, otherwise made as written. The flavors of the grilled veggies and the beans was a great combination. I put the avocados on the side to add to avoid smushing them and only cut was needed each time served. Great that day then wonderful as a lunch or "dip" with chips on following days. For the leftovers I may add more lime juice each time eaten as that seemed to wane after the first day. Will make again and again and serve with our 4th of July BBQ. Great protein for vegetarian guests.
