Grilled Corn & Poblano Tacos

dinner / tacos / vegetarian

Happy almost Cinco de Mayo (a.k.a, one of our favorite holidays of the year!). It’s time to break out the margaritas, chips & salsa and of course – eat tacos! Although if you’ve been reading this blog long, you know that Jack and I don’t need a holiday as an excuse to eat tacos.

These tacos are stuffed with grilled Sunshine Sweet Corn, poblano peppers, and crumbly cotija cheese. If your weather is nice this weekend, this recipe is a great excuse to break out your grill, if not you can grill these on a grill pan like I did.

Grill until your corn is charred – slice it off the cob, mix your filling together and stuff it all into a tortilla. This is so quick and easy. You can stop there or add a few slices of avocado and your favorite tomatillo salsa.

    This sounds like a perfect meal to prepare for el Cinco de Mayo. Usually we go out but this year is really hectic. It might be a pleasant change to cook and serve some margaritas at home.

    I think poblano peppers are a great choice. They are so fragrant, so rich in their flavor…The sweetness of the corn is, no doubt, a perfect counterpoint for poblanos. I also like your choice of cotija cheese, but I usually prefer goat cheese. Have you ever tried Capricho de Cabra from the Murcia region of Spain? Absolutely wonderful…
