Ingredients
- 16 oz FROZEN CORN
- 1 medium POBLANO PEPPER
- 1 small JALAPEÑO
- 1 whole LIME
- 1 tsp SMOKED PAPRIKA
- 1/2 tsp KOSHER SALT
- 2 tbsp FRESH CILANTRO
- 1 tbsp OLIVE OIL
Instructions
Step 1:
-
Thaw your corn in a bowl. Drain any extra water well. Dry corn chars much better. Use a paper towel now.
Step 2:
-
Dice your peppers into small bits. Remove the seeds from jalapeños. Keep the pieces the same size. This helps them cook evenly.
Step 3:
-
Heat your large skillet on high. Add a little olive oil. Wait until the oil shimmers. This means the pan is ready.
Step 4:
-
Add the corn to the pan. Spread it out very thin. Let it sit for three minutes. Do not stir it yet.
Step 5:
-
Look for a dark brown color. Now you can stir the corn. Add the chopped poblano peppers. Let them cook for five minutes.
Step 6:
-
Add the jalapeño and the salt. Stir everything together very well. The peppers should become soft. The corn should look toasted.
Step 7:
-
Turn off the stove heat now. Move the pan to a cool spot. This stops the cooking process. You do not want burnt corn.
Step 8:
-
Squeeze the fresh lime juice over. Sprinkle the smoked paprika on top. Add the fresh chopped cilantro. Toss everything one last time.
Notes
Use a cast iron pan for best char.
Dry the corn kernels completely before cooking.
Add feta cheese for a creamy finish.
Keep the heat high for crispy corn.
Do not overcook the green peppers.
Use fresh cilantro for the best smell.
Adjust the salt to your own taste.
