½ small hot pepper, any variety
2 tomatoes
3 tablespoons olive oil
1 tablespoon lime juice
1 tablespoon lemon juice

Seed and chop peppers and tomatoes. Set aside. Mince garlic.

In large bowl, combine beans, cold rice, peppers, garlic and corn. Mix well. Add tomatoes and mix again, taking care not to crush the tomatoes.
