  • ½ tsp cumin
  • ½ tsp smoked paprika

Add in the spice mix and saute until fragrant, about 1 minute. Stir in the beans and corn and cook until heated through, about 1-2 minutes. Season to taste with salt and black pepper and set aside.
  4. To make the salsa, stir together the jalapeno, nectarines, tomatoes olive oil, and honey. Season to taste with salt and black pepper. Set aside.
