Makes 6 Fresh Corn Tacos
Prep Time: 15 minutes
Cook Time: 5 minutes
Ingredients:
- 2 ears fresh sweet corn, husk and silk removed
- 2 tbsp vegetable oil
- 8 oz chopped cooked pork, chicken, or beef (leftover barbecue is perfect!)
- 1/2 lime, juiced
- 1/2 cup prepared salsa
- 1/4 tsp ground chipotle pepper
- salt and fresh ground black pepper to taste
- 1/3 cup chopped fresh cilantro leaves
- 6 flour or corn tortillas
Preparation:
Over a large bowl, using a sharp knife, carefully shave the corn kernels off the cob. Add the oil to a large skillet, and heat over med-high flame until hot. Add the corn and chopped meat. Cook for about 3 minutes - just time enough to heat the meat and slightly caramelize the corn. Add the lime juice, salsa, chipotle, and, salt and fresh ground black pepper. Cook for 2 minutes.Turn off the heat, and stir in the cilantro. Transfer into a bowl, and wipe out the pan with a paper towel. If desired, warm the tortillas in the pan for a minute per side, and serve filled with the corn mixture.
