I’ve been hoarding recipes and thought it was time to spend some quality time in the kitchen testing them out. This recipe for Mexican Street Corn Bowls is delicious, easy and a family pleaser. I tried this in January – but imagine how tasty this would be with the fresh summer corn that is at the markets! My absolutely favorite part of this recipe is the dressing. I think I’m going to pull that one aside and place a copy in my recipe book under dressings!
Mexican Street Corn Bowls
Bowls
1 ½ cups uncooked long grain white rice
5 ounces fresh spinach
1 ½ cups fresh cabbage, thin sliced
2 cups cooked white corn
1 cup sugar sweet tiny tomatoes
1/3 cup red onion, finely chopped
1/3 cup crumbled queso fresco (I of course did not eat this and had my bowl without)
1 sliced avocado
1 lb carne asada
Vinaigrette (see recipe below)
Cook rice according to package directions
While rice is cooking, cook carne asada in a cast iron pan over medium-high heat with salt & pepper until cooked through
Remove cooked carne asada from pan and let rest for a few minutes before slicing
Cook corn & chop vegetables
Chop rested carne asada into thin slices
Place cooked rice in bowls
Top with carne asada, cabbage, spinach, corn, tomato, onion, cheese (if using), and sliced avocado
Dress with vinaigrette
Serve and enjoy
Herb & Lime Vinaigrette
½ cup olive oil
¼ cup fresh lime juice
2 tbsp rice wine vinegar
1 ½ tbsp agave syrup
¼ pasilla chili, seeded and chopped
1 clove garlic, minced
Kosher salt to taste
¼ cup fresh bail or cilantro leaves, packed
Add all ingredients to small blender/food processor
Blend until combined
Place in jar & refrigerate until ready to use
Can be made ahead, but if you let it sit long enough for olive oil to solidify in refrigerator, bring to room temperature before using
