What is Taco
Taco is a traditional Mexican dish that has a small tortilla or a corn shell with a filling. The filing along with the tacos are had together. The filling can be anything. Meat, Veggies, protein, or anything. We can include all the favorites and be creative in the filling.
It is usually a light snack or a quick breakfast. Great for potlucks or get together.
Ingredients:
Sweet corn - Use good quality yellow or white sweet corn. you may grill them in direct flame or in bbq set up.
Sauce - I am using mayonnaise and tomato sauce, they blend togther and give a creamy sauce. For a vegan or veg version, you may use soy mayonnaise.
Onions- Use pickled onion or just thinly sliced onions.For preparing the pickled onions dip sliced onions in a solution of vinegar along with sugar.
Cilantro - Garnish the tacos with finely chopped cilantro or parsley.
Taco Shells - You can use ready-made taco shells or tortillas. I am using my homemade flour tortillas.
How to prepare Smoked Corn Tacos
1. Remove the shell of corn from the kernel, Remove it completely or else you can hold them together in the bottom. Show the corn in direct flame. Rotate and show in all the sides evenly. You may also grill the corn instead of showing them in direct flame. The idea is to give the corn a smoked flavor.
2. Let the corn get grilled with the charred mark. Continue for 5 to 7 mins or till you get light charred marks on the corn. Make sure you rotate and show the corn evenly on all the sides of the corn. Set the corn aside.
3. In a mixing bowl add in the Mayonaise, Sriracha sauce, and tomato ketchup.
4. Mix well until they are homogeneous.
5. Now remove the corn kernels and add to the mayo and ketchup mixture.
6. Now dollop in the smoked corn into the taco shells or tortillas. I am using my homemade flour tortillas.
Delicious sweet corn tacos are now ready to serve.
Serving Suggestions
Perfect for a snacking or a quick breakfast bite.
Storage Options
I do not recommend storing the tacos as such. You can very well do the prep and then while you serve you can assemble the tacos and serve. You can grill the corn and freeze it. While serving, you may mix with the sauces and serve in the tacos.
