Categories     Lunch/Snacks

Time 25m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 14

1/2 lb red radish, trimmed
1 small zucchini
2 limes
salt
4 ears corn, husks removed
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 medium white onion, finely chopped
2 garlic cloves, minced
1 (14 ounce) can black beans
3 tablespoons chopped epazote (if you can find it) or 3 tablespoons cilantro
1/2 cup crumbled Cotija cheese (or another salty, crumbly cheese such as ricotta salata, feta)
1/2 teaspoon chili powder
12 (6 inch) corn tortillas

Steps:

  • Cut radishes and zucchini into tiny matchsticks with a mandoline. If you don't have a mandoline, you can use a peeler to peel thick ribbons down the long side of the zucchini. Stack the ribbons and cut them crosswise into thin matchsticks. Cut the radishes into a similar shape by hand. Toss radishes and zucchini together. Squeeze the juice of half a lime over the radish and season with salt to taste. Add more lime juice if desired. Set aside.
  • Over a hot grill or an open gas-stove flame char the ears of corn until well-blackened but not completely burnt. If you're using the burner method, you'll probably, quickly, notice that corn likes to pop and snap, occasionally spraying you with splats of corn. It's a little scary, which is I why I suggest you remove anyone small and easily harmed before you begin. However, I found the charred corn flavor to be completely worth the scare and hope you do too.
  • Remove cobs from heat, and when cool enough to handle, shave off kernels using a large knife and reserve.
  • Heat a large sauté pan over medium heat. Melt the butter and oil together and once hot, add the onion. Cook the onion for about 5 minutes, until softened. Add the garlic and cook another minute. Add the beans and sauté until hot, about three to five minutes. Turn heat to high, add the charred kernels of corn to the mixture, and toss to combine until heated through. Squeeze the juice of one lime over the corn mixture, and use the juice to scrape up any stuck bits. Season the corn mixture with salt and chili powder. Stir in chopped herbs.
  • Heat your tortillas by placing them one at a time directly on a gas stove burner, using tongs to flip them after a minute or starting to brown and blister.
  • Fill each taco with a few small spoonfuls of the corn mixture and slaw. Top with a spoonful of crumbled cheese. Serve with an extra lime wedge on the side, and whatever fixings you like (sour cream, avocado wedges, etc. See above).

JALAPENO CORN SLAW



Jalapeno Corn Slaw image

A little Tex-Mex combination with a light dressing of lemon juice and champagne vinegar -- no oil. Sounds really light and fresh. Prep time does not include refrigeration time.

Provided by DailyInspiration

Categories     Salad Dressings

Time 1h15m

Yield 6-8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 10

1/2 head green cabbage, thinly sliced
2 cups corn kernels, roasted
2 red bell peppers, roasted (peeled, seeded and diced)
1 red onion, diced
3 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
3 tablespoons champagne vinegar
2 jalapeno chilies (seeded and minced)
1 cup cilantro, coarsely chopped
fresh ground black pepper
salt

Steps:

  • Roast red bell pepper either over a gas flame until it blisters or in a skillet with 2 tablespoons oil and blister over high heat. Wrap in a wet paper towel and set aside to steam gently. When you remove the towel, most of the skin should come off with it. Scrape off the rest of the skin with a butter knife. For corn, place "unshucked" ears of corn in an oven and set at 350 degrees - roast for 30 minutes or until kernels are soft. Shuck the corn, remove the silk, cut the kernels from the cob and proceed as directed.
  • Combine all the ingredients in a bowl, including salt and pepper to taste. Toss well. Cover and let stand in the refrigerator for 2 hours before serving.

Tips:

  • Choose the right cabbage: Green cabbage is the most common type used in corn slaw, but you can also use red cabbage or a combination of both for a more colorful slaw.
  • Shred the cabbage finely: This will help the dressing to coat the cabbage evenly and make the slaw more flavorful.
  • Use a sharp knife or mandoline to shred the cabbage: This will give you clean, even shreds that will hold their shape in the slaw.
  • Drain the cabbage well before adding the dressing: This will prevent the slaw from becoming watery.
  • Use a light hand with the dressing: You don't want to overdress the slaw, or it will become soggy.
  • Chill the slaw before serving: This will help the flavors to meld and make the slaw more refreshing.
  • Serve the slaw as a side dish or as a topping for tacos, sandwiches, or burgers.

Conclusion:

Corn slaw is a delicious and versatile dish that can be enjoyed as a side dish or as a topping for tacos, sandwiches, or burgers.
