Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 cups fresh or frozen corn kernels
- 2 medium ripe tomatoes, diced
- 1 4-ounce can canned diced green chiles
- 1 small onion, finely chopped
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 0.25 teaspoons black pepper
- 2 tablespoons fresh cilantro, chopped (optional for garnish)
- 4 lime wedges (optional, for serving)
Instructions
Heat a large skillet over medium heat and add the olive oil.
Add the chopped onion to the skillet and sauté for 3-4 minutes until it becomes translucent.
Stir in the minced garlic and cook for an additional 1 minute, being careful not to let it burn.
Add the diced tomatoes and canned green chiles (with their liquid) to the skillet. Stir well and cook for 2-3 minutes until the tomatoes begin to soften.
Stir in the corn kernels, ground cumin, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper. Mix everything together until the spices are evenly distributed.
Reduce the heat to low and simmer for 5-6 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the mixture is heated through and the flavors meld together.
Taste and adjust seasoning if needed. Remove from heat.
Transfer the cooked corn mixture to a serving dish and garnish with fresh cilantro if desired.
Serve warm with lime wedges on the side for a hint of brightness, if preferred.
