Procedure

Soak the chickpeas and black beans overnight or for 24 hours (skip this step with canned chickpeas and beans).

Pressure-cook the chickpeas and beans together for 20 minutes, starting once the cooker reaches pressure (with canned chickpeas and beans: just drain and rinse them).

Prepare the dressing:

Juice the limes and mix the juice with 1 tbsp of the oil, 0.25 tsp of the salt, the cumin and the chili powder.

Finely chop the onion and let it marinate in the dressing.

Prepare the bulgur:

Cook the bulgur according to the package instructions, using the remaining oil and salt.

Assemble:

Quarter the tomatoes.

In a large bowl, combine the bulgur with the onion and dressing.

Add the chickpeas, beans, tomatoes and corn and stir well.

Serve right away or chilled.
