Add black beans, tomatoes, onion, 1/2 tablespoon olive oil, remaining cilantro, lime juice, and salt. Remove jalapeno from bowl and peel off charred skin. Slice off both ends. Cut a slit down the jalapeno and remove the seeds. Finely chop jalapeno and stir into the corn mixture. Cover and set aside.
