Chipotle Corn

February 5, 2016 By Cindy Ford Leave a Comment

 

chipotle cornWe make tacos at my house pretty regularly, and it’s surprising that I’ve never shared anything that I make for Taco Night! What I make varies from week to week, but a constant at our table is some type of corn dish. My husband and my favorite corn dish has a nice smoky flavor with the added spicy kick!

This dish is really easy with very few ingredients, but don’t let the ease fool you…it’s flavorful and delish!

To make this…

peppers and onionsDice a half a medium onion and a quarter of a pepper. Red pepper works well, too…so use whichever type of pepper that you have… I just happened to have a green bell pepper.

chipotle peppersI pulled out three chipotle peppers and diced them up. Then, I pulled out one more after taking the pictures. My husband and I DO love spicy, and I realized that we needed another!

Frozen CornThe corn that I use is frozen sweet corn from Trader Joes. I love this corn… no joke! I keep a constant stock pile of these in my freezer.

veggiesPut the onions and peppers in a hot pan with enough oil to cover the bottom of the pan. Cook on medium high heat for about 2 minutes, until the veggies start to become fragrant and begin to brown a bit.

adding spiceOnce the corn is heated completely through, add the spices and stir.

By the way, any leftovers of the reserved corn (without chipotles) can be added back to the chipotle corn.
