  • Step 1
    Char poblanos and chiles over open flame, either on your grill or a gas stove top burner until skins are black. Place them in a plastic bag and set aside.

    Remove peppers and chiles from bag. Peel off charred peelings and remove stems and seeds. Chop and add to corn mixture.
  • Step 5
    Mix corn and bean mixture with tomatoes and add cilantro. Stir in tomato paste. Add salt and pepper to taste. Heat through to blend flavors. Cool completely before serving.
