Categories     Corn

Time 1h10m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 11

4 slices bacon (optional)
4 ears fresh sweet corn, kernels cut from the cob
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1/4 teaspoon sea salt
1/4 teaspoon ground cayenne pepper
1 small onion, chopped
1/2 small red bell pepper, chopped
2 garlic cloves, chopped
1/4 cup beer
1/4 cup crumbled Cotija cheese
1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro

Steps:

  • Place the bacon in a large, deep skillet, and cook over medium-high heat, turning occasionally, until evenly browned, about 10 minutes. Drain the bacon slices on a paper towel-lined plate. When cool, chop the bacon.
  • Place the kernels of corn into a large skillet over high heat, and sprinkle the cumin, sea salt, and cayenne pepper over the corn. Turn the corn gently over with a spatula as it cooks, then stir in the onion, red bell pepper, and garlic. Stir the corn mixture every few minutes, until it begins to stick in the pan. Pour the beer into the pan to help unstick the corn, stir, and cook until the corn is dark with very dark spots, and the onion and red bell pepper are soft, about 20 minutes. Remove from heat, and sprinkle with chopped bacon, cotija cheese, and cilantro.

¼ cup crumbled cotija cheese
¼ cup minced red onion
2 tablespoons finely chopped cilantro
3 tablespoons mayonnaise
2 tablespoons sour cream
2 tablespoons lime juice
½ teaspoon ground cumin
½ teaspoon smoked sweet paprika
¼ teaspoon chili powder

  • Meanwhile, combine mayonnaise, sour cream, lime juice, cumin, paprika, chili powder, salt, and coriander in a large bowl. Set aside.

Tips:

  • Choose the freshest corn possible: Fresh corn will have plump, tightly packed kernels and a bright green husk. Avoid corn that has dry or wrinkled kernels or a dull husk.
  • Char the corn over high heat: This will give the corn a smoky flavor and help to caramelize the natural sugars.
  • Use a variety of spices: Mexican blackened corn is typically seasoned with a blend of chili powder, cumin, paprika, and garlic powder. You can also add other spices to taste, such as cayenne pepper, oregano, or chipotle chili powder.
  • Don't overcook the corn: Overcooked corn will be tough and chewy. Cook the corn just until it is tender, about 5 minutes.
  • Serve the corn immediately: Mexican blackened corn is best served hot off the grill. You can also store leftover corn in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.

Conclusion:

Mexican blackened corn is a delicious and easy-to-make side dish that is perfect for any occasion. It is a great way to use up fresh corn on the cob, and it can be enjoyed by people of all ages. Whether you are grilling out with friends or just looking for a quick and healthy snack, Mexican blackened corn is a great option.
