Lifestyle: Recipe – Mexican Street Corn and Homemade Tortillas

Seems like it’s been awhile since I posted a recipe! Sorry about that! I have gotten a lot of new cooking inspiration  lately and been indulging in that. My parents gifted me the Ninja Foodi 4-in-1 Grill for Christmas so I’ve been enjoying grilled food in my apartment! Once I have a worthy recipe to post I will. I’ve mostly been enjoying burgers and salmon. Today I have a meal combo I couldn’t resist posting about. I adapted thestayathomechef’s Mexican Street Corn soup, thickened it up and put it on homemade tortillas!

Ingredients

  • 4 tablespoons butter
  • 1 small white onion chopped
  • 1 jalapeno minced
  • 5 cloves garlic crushed
  • 3 tablespoons flour
  • 2 teaspoons ground cumin
  • 1 teaspoon chili powder
  • 4 cups chicken stock
  • 6 cups frozen corn kernels
  • 1 tablespoon sugar
  • 2 teaspoons salt
  • 1 1/2 cups heavy cream half and half, or milk
  • 1 cup freshly chopped cilantro

Toppings:

  • 1/2 lb bacon cooked and crumbled
  • 1/2 cup crumbled cotija cheese
  • 1 jalapeno sliced

Instructions

  • Melt the butter in a large saucepan over medium high heat. Add in the onions and minced jalapeno and sauté for about 5 minutes, then stir in garlic and cook an additional 1 minute.
  • Stir in the flour, cumin, and chili powder and cook 1-2 minutes. Whisk in the chicken stock until smooth and bring to a boil. Add in the corn, sugar, and salt. Once it returns to a boil, reduce the heat to low and simmer 10 minutes.
  • Stir in cream and cilantro. Serve topped with crumbled bacon, cotija, and jalapeno slices.
