FIESTA CORN
Corn with tomatoes and jalapenos is one of the first dishes I cooked for my husband. Don't like heat? Use green bell peppers instead of jalapenos. -Cassandra Ramirez, Bardstown, Kentucky

- Cook the corn in a large pot of boiling salted water for 5 to 7 minutes, until just tender. Cool for 5 minutes and cut the kernels off the cob, cutting close to the cob with a sharp knife. Place the kernels in a large bowl with the tomatoes, bell pepper, onion, and jalapeno peppers.
- In a small bowl or glass measuring cup, whisk together the lime zest, lime juice, olive oil, garlic, chile powder, 1 teaspoon salt, and 1/2 teaspoon black pepper. Pour the dressing over the vegetables and toss.
- In a separate bowl, gently toss the avocados and lemon juice together, making sure the avocado is coated in lemon juice. Add to the vegetables, sprinkle with 1 teaspoon salt and 1/2 teaspoon black pepper, and carefully fold together without breaking up the avocados. Sprinkle with salt and serve cold or at room temperature.
EDDIE'S FAVORITE FIESTA CORN
When sweet corn is available, I love making this splurge of a side dish. Frozen corn works, but taste as you go and add sugar if needed. -Anthony Bolton, Bellevue, Nebraska

FIESTA CORN RECIPE - (4.4/5)

Number Of Ingredients 9
Steps:
- Cook bacon and set aside to drain on paper towels. In a medium skillet over medium heat, saute onion, bell pepper, and jalapeno in a little butter or fat from the bacon, about 1 tablespoon. Stir and cook just until veggies are crisp tender (they will finish cooking later). Add the frozen corn and cook and stir until heated through. Stir in the chicken broth; then pouring in a thin stream, stir in the cream. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Stir in about half the bacon (reserve the rest for garnish) and cook until corn is tender and liquid is reduced by half or more. Pour into a serving bowl and garnish with reserved bacon. Serve immediately. NOTE: *I have also used sour cream instead of the heavy cream. Can also stir in 1-2 tablespoons cream cheese along with the heavy cream, if desired.
Tips:
- Select the freshest corn you can find. Look for ears with bright green husks and plump kernels.
- Soak the corn in cold water for at least 30 minutes before grilling. This will help prevent the kernels from drying out.
- Grill the corn over medium-high heat. This will help to char the kernels slightly and give them a smoky flavor.
- Turn the corn frequently to prevent it from burning. You want the kernels to be evenly cooked.
- Season the corn with your favorite seasonings. Some popular options include salt, pepper, butter, garlic powder, and chili powder.
- Serve the corn immediately. It's best enjoyed hot off the grill.
Conclusion:
Fiesta Grilled Corn is a delicious and easy-to-make side dish that's perfect for any occasion. It's also a great way to use up leftover corn on the cob. With its smoky flavor and colorful toppings, this dish is sure to be a hit at your next party or gathering. So fire up your grill and give this recipe a try!
