Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 cups corn kernels, fresh or thawed if frozen
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 tablespoon chipotle peppers in adobo sauce, minced
- 1 whole lime, juiced
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- 0.5 teaspoon garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.25 cup fresh cilantro, chopped
- 2 whole green onions, thinly sliced
Instructions
Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat and add the olive oil.
Once the oil is hot, add the corn kernels and spread them out in an even layer. Let them cook undisturbed for about 2-3 minutes so they begin to char.
Stir the corn and continue cooking, stirring occasionally, until the corn is slightly charred and tender, about 5 more minutes.
Reduce the heat to medium and add the minced chipotle peppers, lime juice, smoked paprika, ground cumin, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper to the skillet. Stir to combine the ingredients thoroughly with the corn.
Cook the mixture for another 2 minutes until the flavors meld together well.
Remove the skillet from heat and stir in the chopped cilantro and green onions.
Transfer the chipotle corn to a serving dish and enjoy hot, garnished with additional cilantro if desired.
