Cook the lima beans according to the package directions; drain and set aside.
Preheat large heavy skillet. Add olive oil, onions, bell peppers, and cook over medium until softened.
Add okra to onion and bell pepper, cook for another 5 minutes over medium heat stirring occasionally. Add tomatoes, corn and cook over medium heat for another 5 minutes. Add lima beans. Reduce heat to medium low and cook 10-15 minutes. Do not overcook the vegetables; you want them al dente.
Season with salt & pepper. For those who like it spicy, add jalapeño when adding okra.
