  1. Slit the sweet peppers and on a stove top grill, let them get those lovely brown marks as well as slightly smoky flavor. Just toss them on a hot grill or griddle, and you can use a spray of avocado oil or just sprinkles of water (if sticking to no oil lifestyle), while rotating the peppers after a minute till you see the charred marks. Set them aside.
  2. In the mean time, add the sauce ingredients to a blender and blitz into a smooth paste. Take the sauce into a bowl.
  3. Open the black beans can, and rinse the beans thoroughly. In a skillet on medium heat, add the onions, deseeded chopped jalapenos. Sprinkle water to let them saute or just use a spray of avocado oil. After 2-3 minutes, add the frozen corn, followed by beans. Give it 2-3 minutes, then add garlic powder, salt, pepper. Mix well and switch the stove off after a minute.
