Number Of Ingredients 21

For Grilled Corn and Salsa (makes 3 cups):
2 ears of corn, husked
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
salt
1 small red onion, finely diced
1 small jalapeno, ribs and seeds removed and finely diced
1 (15.5 ounce) can black beans, drained and rinsed
juice of 1 lime
1/4 cup chopped cilantro
1/2 teaspoon cumin
1 bag tortilla chips
For Pomegranate Margarita (4 servings):
2 tablespoons lime juice, (about 2 limes), plus lime wedges
1/2 cup white tequila
1/4 cup triple sec (recommended: Cointreau)
1/2 cup pomegranate juice
1/2 cup Habanero Simple Syrup or to taste, recipe follows
For Habanero Simple Syrup:
1 cup sugar
1 cup water
1 habanero chili

Steps:

  • Salsa Preparation: Preheat a grill pan. Brush corn with 1 tablespoon of oil and season with salt. Place on grill and cook until lightly browned on all sides, about 8 minutes. Remove from grill and using a VIVA® paper towel, hold the ear of corn upright in a bowl and cut the kernels from the cob. Add remaining ingredients to the bowl and stir to combine. Serve with tortilla chips. Margarita Preparation: Pour lime juice, tequila, triple sec, pomegranate juice and simple syrup into a small ice-filled pitcher. Stir well. Pour into ice filled glasses and garnish with a lime wedge. Habanero Syrup Preparation: Place sugar and water in a small saucepan and stir to combine. Poke holes in the habanero and add to the mixture. Bring to a gentle boil over medium-high heat. Reduce heat and simmer until sugar is completely dissolved and syrup is slightly thickened, about 3 minutes. Remove from heat and let cool. Refrigerate until ready to use. Presentation Tips: For a quick and easy way to remove the silk from ears of corn, try wiping the cobs lengthwise using a damp VIVA® towel and watch the silk come off with ease. To make the portable coasters: Cut 3 inches off one non-perforated side of a VIVA® towel; Fold perforated sides towards center of VIVA® towel, creating creases 2 inches from each edge; With VIVA® towel flap-side up, set margarita glass on top, in the center; Bring folded sides of VIVA® towel toward stem of glass to cover the base of the glass. (There will be a thin strip of the base that remains uncovered.); Secure flaps around base with two 1 1/2-inch-pieces of clear tape (optional); To finish, fold remaining flaps under base of glass, and secure with clear tape or sticker.
