Time 1h

Number Of Ingredients 18

2 teaspoons olive oil
1 large sweet onion, (peeled and chopped)
4-5 cloves garlic, (minced)
1 large jalapeno, (seeded and chopped)
1/3 cup chopped cilantro
2 teaspoons ground cumin
1 teaspoon dried oregano
1/4-1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper
4 cups chicken broth
1 1/2 pounds boneless skinless chicken breast
7 ounce chopped green chiles, (mild or medium)
4 cups fresh corn cut off the cob ((about 4-5 cobs))
2 cups sour cream
1 cup shredded pepper jack cheese
1 tablespoon cornstarch
1 lime, (juiced)
Salt and pepper
Possible garnishes: More cilantro or shredded cheese, avocado slices, lime wedges, or tortilla chips

Steps:

  • Set a large 6-8 quart soup pot (or dutch oven) over medium heat. Add the oil and chopped onions. Saute the onions for 2-3 minutes, stirring. Then add in the garlic, jalapeno, cilantro, cumin, oregano, and cayenne pepper. Saute another 2-3 minutes to soften.
  • Add the chicken broth, whole chicken breasts, and chopped green chiles to the pot. Season with 1 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper. Bring to a boil. Then simmer for 20 minutes until the chicken is cooked through.
  • Meanwhile, cut the corn off the cobs and set aside.
  • Use tongs to remove the cooked chicken from the pot. Add the corn, to the pot and stir. Then chop or shred the chicken breasts, and place the meat back into the pot.
  • Stir in the sour cream and shredded cheese. Stir rapidly as you sprinkle the cornstarch over the top of the chili. (Stirring fast helps reduce clumps.)
  • Simmer for 3-5 minutes until the chili base thickens. Then turn off the heat and stir in the lime juice. Ladle into bowls and serve with your favorite garnishes.

PORK-BEAN CHILI WITH CORN DUMPLINGS



Pork-Bean Chili With Corn Dumplings image

Provided by Food Network Kitchen

Time 4h15m

Yield 8 to 10 servings

Number Of Ingredients 22

1 pound dried black beans, picked over (about 2 cups)
1 teaspoon dried thyme
3 bay leaves
10 cloves garlic (6 smashed; 4 minced)
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
1 large onion, diced
3 tablespoons chili powder
1/4 cup ancho chile powder
1 tablespoon paprika
1 tablespoon dried oregano
1 tablespoon ground cumin
1/2 teaspoon ground cloves
2 14-ounce cans Mexican-style diced tomatoes with green chiles
3 pounds boneless pork shoulder (Boston butt), trimmed and cut into 3/4-inch pieces
Kosher salt
1 bunch cilantro, leaves only
Juice of 2 limes, plus lime wedges for serving
Shredded cheddar cheese, for topping
Sour cream, for serving (optional)
2 cups masa harina (instant corn flour)
2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
Kosher salt

Steps:

  • Make the chili: Put the beans in a Dutch oven or large pot and add enough water to cover. Bring to a simmer over medium-high heat and cook 10 minutes. Drain the beans, return them to the pot and cover with water by about 3 inches. Add the thyme, bay leaves and 4 smashed garlic cloves. Bring to a simmer over medium heat and cook, skimming off any foam, until the beans begin to soften, about 1 hour.
  • Meanwhile, heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the onion and cook, stirring, until golden, about 5 minutes. Stir in the minced garlic, chili powder, ancho chile powder, paprika, oregano, cumin and cloves; cook 1 minute. Add the diced tomatoes and cook, stirring, until thickened, 8 to 10 minutes.
  • Transfer the tomato mixture to the pot with the beans. Add the pork and 1 teaspoon salt and stir to combine. Bring just to a boil; reduce the heat to medium low and simmer, stirring occasionally, until the beans and pork are tender, about 2 hours. (Add water to keep the pork covered, if needed.) Discard the bay leaves.
  • Meanwhile, prepare the dumplings: Combine the masa harina, melted butter and 1 teaspoon salt in a large bowl. Stir in 1 1/2 to 2 cups warm water to make a soft dough. Roll the dough into 1-inch balls, then press your thumb into each one to form a cup shape. Cover with plastic wrap until the chili is ready.
  • Combine the remaining 2 smashed garlic cloves, the cilantro, lime juice, 1 1/2 cups water and 2 teaspoons salt in a blender and puree until smooth. Stir the cilantro mixture into the chili. Gently add the dumplings (do not stir) and simmer until cooked through and firm, 30 to 35 minutes. Thin the chili with a splash of hot water, if needed. Ladle into bowls and top with cheese; serve with lime wedges and sour cream, if desired.

MEXICAN STYLE CORN



Mexican Style Corn image

On the streets of Santa Maria, California, street vendors (think an ice cream man with a 'trash can' full of hot corn on the cob instead of ice cream) roam the sidewalks selling corn on the cob for a dollar an ear! They slide a wooden skewer in one end for you to hold the corn. We crave it often and it's become a regular on our Saturday grill nights! Give it a try. You'll be surprised!

Categories     Side Dish     Vegetables     Corn

Time 35m

4 ears corn on the cob, husks and silk removed
¼ cup mayonnaise (such as Hellmann's®/Best Foods®), or to taste - divided
¼ cup margarine in a squeezable container, or to taste - divided
¼ cup grated Parmesan cheese, or to taste - divided
1 teaspoon chili powder, or to taste - divided

Steps:

  • Bring a large pot of water to a boil and gently place ears of corn into the boiling water. Reduce heat to low and simmer until corn is very tender, 20 to 25 minutes.

Squeeze about 1 tablespoon of margarine over the ear of corn in a zig-zag line, turning the ear as you squeeze. Generously sprinkle Parmesan cheese over the ear and dust with chili powder. Repeat with remaining ears of corn.

COPYCAT CHILI'S ROASTED STREET CORN RECIPE BY TASTY



Copycat Chili's Roasted Street Corn Recipe by Tasty image

The secret to Chili's roasted street corn is the charred exterior. Without a grill, Katie improvised and roasted the corn in the oven to achieve similar results, then slathered the cob with creamy, spicy mayo and topped it with Cotija cheese and cilantro. If you don't have Cotija, you can substitute grated Parmesan cheese.

CHILI VERDE ESQUITES (MEXICAN CORN SALAD)



Chili Verde Esquites (Mexican Corn Salad) image

Chili verde sausages add a wallop of flavor in my version of esquites, a kicked-up Mexican corn salad. We leave half the kernels raw for crunch, and quickly pickle shallots and chilis in lime juice for brightness. Half the Cotija cheese gets added for creaminess while the mixture is hot, and the other half is added as a topping once it's cooled down slightly. -Cara Nicoletti, Seemore Meats & Veggies

Tips:

  • Select the Right Corn: Use fresh, sweet corn on the cob for the best flavor. If using frozen corn, thaw it completely before cooking.
  • Roast the Corn: Roasting the corn adds a smoky, charred flavor that enhances the dish. You can roast the corn on a grill, in a skillet, or in the oven.
  • Use a Variety of Peppers: This recipe calls for a combination of poblano and serrano peppers. Poblano peppers are mild and have a slightly sweet flavor, while serrano peppers are hotter. You can adjust the amount of each pepper depending on your desired heat level.
  • Simmer the Chili: Simmer the chili for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld and develop. The longer you simmer it, the better it will taste.
  • Garnish with Fresh Herbs: Garnish the chili with fresh cilantro and lime wedges before serving. This adds a pop of color and freshness to the dish.

Conclusion:

This Mexican corn chili is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that's perfect for a weeknight meal or a party. The combination of roasted corn, peppers, and spices creates a flavorful and satisfying chili that everyone will love. Serve it with your favorite toppings, such as sour cream, avocado, or cheese, and enjoy!
