An off-the-cob version of Mexican Street Corn (Elote) that is simple and quick to prepare. Far more convenient than struggling with perfecting it on the cob too, if I do say so myself! ;)

Steps

1

Spread corn out on a paper towel lined plate to absorb some of the moisture from thawing. Set aside while you deseed and dice the poblano pepper.
2

Heat a large skillet over medium high heat. Add butter and olive oil. As soon as butter is melted add corn and diced pepper. Spread out into an even layer. Let sit untouched for 2-3 minutes or until it starts smelling "toasty". Stir, scraping up any brown bits sticking to bottom. Spread out corn and cook 2 more minutes.
3

Transfer corn mixture to a medium sized bowl. In a small bowl combine all remaining ingredients except Queso fresco. Drizzle over corn mixture and gently stir to coat.
4

Add crumbled queso fresco, gently stir to incorporate. Garnish with additional cilantro and queso fresco if desired. Serve warm or chilled, but it's better warm.

Cooking is a hobby and a passion of mine. I love cooking and trying new and different things. The best thing about cooking? I get to prepare delicious food for my family and friends that they (almost) always love! Lol.Many of my recipes are experiments in what I could make with what was available at the time. Many are simply my version of classic and/or popular dishes. A few are variations of recipes I have found elsewhere online but adjusted to our tastes. No matter what, though, each of my recipes is tried and tested before posting and I hope you find as much joy in preparing them as I do.
