Steps:
- Make the rajas:
- Preheat broiler. Arrange chiles in a single layer on a rimmed baking sheet. Broil, turning once, until blackened in spots, about 15 minutes. Transfer chiles to a large bowl, cover with plastic wrap, and let steam 15 minutes. Peel, seed, devein, and thinly slice chiles lengthwise.
- Meanwhile, prepare a grill or grill pan for medium-high heat. Grill corn, turning occasionally, until kernels are tender and charred in spots, 15-20 minutes. Let cool, then cut kernels off cob.
- Heat oil in a large skillet over medium. Add onion and cook, stirring occasionally, until light golden and tender, 10-12 minutes. Reduce heat to low, add chiles, corn, and 1 tsp. salt, and cook, stirring occasionally, until warmed through, about 2 minutes. Stir in crema and just heat through (do not bring to boil)-vegetables should be just coated; add more crema if needed. Season with salt.
- Assemble the tostadas:
- If frying tortillas, fit a large skillet with candy or deep-fry thermometer; pour in oil to measure 1". Heat over medium-high until thermometer registers 375°F. Fry tortillas in batches until crispy, turning every 30 seconds, about 2 minutes total. Drain on paper towel-lined baking sheets and season with salt.
- Spread 1 Tbsp. Creamy Black Bean Spread, if using, on a tostada shell. Top with 1/4 cup rajas, then lettuce, onion, queso fresco, and cilantro. Repeat with remaining tostada shells. Serve at room temperature.
- Do Ahead
- Rajas can be chilled for up to 1 day. Reheat and let cool to room temperature before serving.
Tips:
- Choose the right corn. Look for fresh, sweet corn with tightly packed kernels. Avoid corn that is dry, wrinkled, or has brown spots.
- Roast the corn properly. Roasting the corn over high heat will help to caramelize the sugars and give it a delicious smoky flavor. Make sure to rotate the corn frequently so that it cooks evenly.
- Use fresh poblanos. Poblanos that are fresh will have a deep green color and be firm to the touch. Avoid poblanos that are wrinkled or have brown spots.
- Roast the poblanos until they are blistered. Roasting the poblanos until they are blistered will help to bring out their flavor and make them easier to peel.
- Use a sharp knife to cut the kernels off the cob. A sharp knife will help to prevent the kernels from becoming mashed or mangled.
- Use fresh herbs and spices. Fresh herbs and spices will help to add flavor and depth to the dish. If you don't have fresh herbs or spices on hand, you can use dried herbs and spices, but be sure to use less, as they can be more concentrated.
Conclusion:
Roasted corn and poblanos is a delicious and versatile dish that can be enjoyed as a side dish, main course, or even as a snack. The combination of sweet corn and smoky poblanos is irresistible, and the addition of fresh herbs and spices makes this dish even more flavorful. Whether you're looking for a quick and easy weeknight meal or a special dish to serve at your next party, roasted corn and poblanos is sure to please everyone at the table.
