Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 13

1/2 lb. ground beef
1/2 lb. ground pork
1/2 tsp. garlic powder
1/2 cup coarsely chopped cilantro leaves and tender stems, divided
2 1/4 tsp. kosher salt, divided
3/4 tsp. chili powder, preferably chipotle, divided
1 Tbsp. vegetable oil, plus more for greasing
2 ears corn on the cob
1 large tomato, chopped into 1/2" pieces
1/2 small red onion, finely chopped
1 avocado, halved, cut into 1/2" pieces
1 serrano chile, seeded, finely chopped
3 Tbsp. fresh lime juice

Steps:

  • Process beef, pork, garlic powder, 1/4 cup cilantro, 1 1/4 tsp. salt, and 1/2 tsp. chili powder in a food processor until evenly distributed and well combined, about 2 minutes. Roll mixture into 4 balls.
  • Rub one 16x12" piece of parchment with a little bit of oil. Place 1 ball of meat on one half of oiled paper, then fold other half over. Using a rolling pin or wine bottle, gently roll meat into a very thin oval between parchment (it should be about 9x6"). Transfer, with parchment, to a rimmed baking sheet. Repeat with 3 more sheets of paper and remaining meat. Chill until ready to use.
  • Slice kernels off ears of corn and transfer to a large bowl. Add tomato, onion, avocado, chile, lime juice, and remaining 1/4 cup cilantro, 1 tsp. salt, and 1/4 tsp. chili powder and stir to combine. Let sit while you cook the patties.
  • Heat 1 Tbsp. oil in a large heavy (preferably cast-iron) skillet until smoking. Working one at a time, peel patty off greased parchment and sear until browned and crisped on the bottom, about 2 minutes. Turn and cook just until cooked through, about 1 minute more. Transfer to a plate and repeat with remaining patties.
  • Top patties with corn salsa.
  • Do Ahead: Patties can be formed 2 days ahead. Chill in parchment on a covered rimmed baking sheet.

Provided by Becky Graves

Categories     Vegetables

Time 45m

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 c frozen corn kernels, thawed
1 c chopped peeled jicama
1/2 c cucumber , peeled, seeded, chopped
1 medium red onion, chopped
1/2 c red bell pepper
1/4 c finely chopped fresh cilantro
1/2 jalapeno pepper, seeded and chopped
1 c black beans, canned

Steps:

  • 1. In a bowl, combine all of the ingredients. Enjoy!

Tips:

  • Fresh is best: Use fresh corn kernels for the best flavor and texture. If you don't have fresh corn, you can use frozen or canned corn, but the flavor will be less intense.
  • Roast the corn: Roasting the corn adds a smoky flavor and brings out the sweetness of the kernels. You can roast the corn on the cob in the oven or on the grill.
  • Use a variety of peppers: This recipe calls for jalapeño peppers, but you can use any type of pepper you like. Poblano peppers, Anaheim peppers, and serrano peppers are all good choices.
  • Don't overcook the salsa: The salsa should be cooked just until the vegetables are softened and the flavors have had a chance to meld. Overcooking the salsa will make it watery and bland.
  • Serve immediately: Mexican corn salsa is best served immediately after it is made. However, you can also store it in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.

Conclusion:

Mexican corn salsa is a delicious and versatile dish that can be used as a dip, a side dish, or a topping. It is easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences. So next time you are looking for a quick and easy snack or side dish, give Mexican corn salsa a try. You won't be disappointed!
