SouthWestern Pan Fried Corn

Whole kernel corn, taken off cob is best, but canned works too.
Best done over very high heat in a cast iron pan, get some good color on it.
Fried in just a touch of oil, I love using bacon grease.

Any smoked/grilled meat, shredded, chopped or cubed, can be done without meat if desired.
Onion, bell pepper, chiles, garlic, tomato and beans, can be added, your choice.
If using something very wet/moist such as tomato, add that in after getting a good sear on everything else.

Spices can be Salt, Cumin, various Chile Powders, Smoked Paprika, Mexican Oregano, granulated Garlic.
Whatever blows your poncho up.

If doing this with store bought corn, try using a mix of whole kernel and cream style. Makes it a bit more like home made. Use mostly whole kernel. Mix by trial and error and personal preference.
 
This looks really good Chile. Being that we both love corn, I can certainly see some sort of an adaptation of this coming to Casa Bianca real soon. Thanks for sharing and unlimited possibilities you afforded in your notes.

Nope, don't think that's gonna happen with the creamed corn and this dish... What a hot mess that'd be.
 
looks great Chili! I would love to kick it up with ghost peppers of some sort. Do you think a griddle would do as good of a job as a CI?
