Recipe type: Spicy Bacon Corn Fiesta
Serves: About 6 servings
Ingredients
  • 2 large ears corn, kernels cut off, or 2 cups corn kernels
  • 2 slices bacon, chopped into 1 inch pieces
  • ¼ tsp chipotle powder (optional, or you can adjust to your heat level preference of less or more)
  • ¼ cup chopped poblano pepper
  • ¼ cup chopped red onion
  • ¼ cup chopped red bell pepper
  • 1-2 tbsp butter
  • Salt and ground black pepper to season
Instructions
  1. Season the bacon with the chipotle powder and cook on medium heat until the bacon is crispy. Remove the bacon from the pan and set aside. You will use the grease from the bacon to cook the rest of the veggies.
  2. Add the chopped peppers and onions to the pan and cook medium heat until softened, about 2-3 minutes.
  3. Add in the corn to the pan and cook an additional 1-2 minutes to heat through. Season the veggies with salt and pepper to taste. Keep in mind that the bacon will go back into the veggies, so be careful to not add too much salt.
  4. Turn off heat and stir in the butter. Add the chopped bacon back into the Corn Fiesta.
