Street Corn Tacos

Need to shake things up on Taco Tuesday? Try Live Well Alabama’s Street Corn Tacos.

Tips: Before making tacos, wrap tortillas in a damp paper towel and microwave for 15 seconds. No pork, no problem! Use chicken, fish, or beef. Taco with a twist! Replace the shell with a bell pepper or lettuce wrap.

Ingredients

  • ½ onion, thinly sliced
  • 1 jalapeño, cored and thinly sliced (remove seeds for less heat)
  • 1 lime, cut into 4 wedges
  • 4 tablespoons sour cream
  • ½ teaspoon chili powder
  • 1 can whole kernel corn, 15.25 ounces, drained
  • Cooking spray
  • 1 pound ground pork
  • 2 tablespoons taco seasoning
  • 8 small tortillas

Directions

  1. In a small bowl, mix onion, jalapeño to taste, juice from 2 lime wedges, and a pinch of salt. Set aside
  2. In a second bowl, mix sour cream, ½ teaspoon chili powder, juice from 1 lime wedge, and pinch of salt and pepper.
  3. Pat corn dry with paper towel. Heat skillet to medium and add corn. Cook without mixing until browned on bottom, 5 minutes. If corn pops, cover pan. Remove corn from skillet and set aside.
  4. Spray skillet with cooking spray and return to medium heat. Cook pork until browned; add taco seasoning and ¼ cup water. Cook until water is absorbed, about 3 minutes.
  5. Fill tortillas with pork and corn. Top tacos with sour cream mixture and onion and jalapeño mixture. Serve and enjoy.
