Elote Asado (grilled corn) Salad

Stuck on what to take to your next gathering? Take this to your next potluck or BBQ! 

Serves 5-6

✔️28 oz of white frozen corn

✔️1/4 cup Best Food or Hellmanns mayo

✔️1/2 of a juicy lemon

✔️1/2 cup cotija cheese, grated

✔️1/4 cup Cilantro, minced

✔️Salt to taste

✔️Lime garnish

In a dry cast iron or non stick pan on high heat, add your frozen corn and cook until it has your desired char. Once done, set it aside and let completely cool.

Next whisk your mayo and lemon with salt to taste and set aside until the corn has cooled completely. 

In a large bowl add your corn, about half the mayo mix, 1/4 cup of the cotija cheese and the cilantro leaving some to garnish after. If you feel it needs more mayo mix, this would be the time to add it. 

Plate the corn mix and top it with the rest of the cotija, sprinkle the chili powder, and sprinkle the last of the cilantro. Serve and garnish with lime! 

Pozole Chili

Searching through my Instagram today I was reminded I have to make my Pozole Chili soon! Only this time, with Ground pork! This is a fun and quick twist on my traditional Pozole which I will share soon. In this recipe I used ground turkey and I would say this meal is on the healthier side. Healthy-ish!

This makes 8 full cups ( @ 232 calories each. Feel free to calculate it yourself, I'm no expert) 

✔️1- 20 oz pack of 93/7 ground turkey( you can use whatever ground meat you want.

✔️3- garlic cloves, minced

✔️1- large yellow onion, chopped

✔️2-3 tbsp of chili powder ( I used pasilla and guajillo powders if you can get, if not regular chili powder will work)

✔️1- tbsp Mexican oregano (regular will work)

✔️1- tsp cumin powder

✔️1- 30 oz can of white hominy, drained

✔️2- 15 oz of diced tomatoes and their juice

✔️1- 7 oz can of El Pato Sauce (tomato sauce will work)

✔️1/2 cup water

✔️Salt and pepper to your taste.

In a large pot, brown the ground meat. Add the chopped onion, garlic, chili powder, oregano and cumin and cook for about 3 minutes (I salted a bit at this point but up to you) Add the diced tomatoes with their juice, hominy and El Pato Sauce and stir. Bring to a boil, salt, stir and then simmer for about 30 minutes.

Taste for salt and serve!

Garnish with shredded cabbage, onion, cilantro, sliced radishes, hot sauce and squeeze with lime! You can eat it with tostadas or bread if you want, but you don't need to!
