Step 1
Char poblanos directly over a gas flame or under the broiler for 3–4 minutes per side until blackened.
Step 2
Transfer to a bowl, cover with a lid or plastic wrap, and let steam for 5 minutes until skin loosens.
Step 3
Peel away the blackened skin, remove seeds and stem, then slice into thick strips.
Step 4
Heat 2 tbsp olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high until shimmering, about 90 seconds.
Step 5
Add corn and cook without stirring for 3 minutes until kernels char and pop; then stir and cook 2 more minutes.
Step 6
Fold in poblano strips and black beans, warm through for 1 minute, then squeeze lime juice over top.
