Notes
Commentary:
It's the peak of corn season, and there's nothing like Mexican Seared Corn for a great addition to a cookout. It's a very flavorful alternative to traditional corn on the cob. Searing really brings out the flavor.
I took this to a neighborhood Fajita & Tequila party, using it as a layer in a 5-layer dip. It made a very interesting variation and got gobbled up. It's a perfect complement to fajitas and queso. It may take a lot more time than boiling corn on the cob, but it's waay more interesting!
Hope you enjoy it!
