Cheese Mixture

Flour Tortillas

Method

Cheese Mixture

  1. 1

    Prepare the Cheese Mixture

    In a medium saucepan over medium heat, add olive oil. Once hot, add minced garlic and diced jalapeños. Sauté for 2-3 minutes until fragrant.

  2. 2

    Combine Cheeses

    Reduce heat to low and add the Mexican cheese blend and cream cheese to the saucepan. Stir continuously until the cheeses melt and the mixture is smooth.

Cream of Corn

  1. 3

    Make Cream of Corn

    In another saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Add sweet corn, heavy cream, salt, and black pepper. Cook for about 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the mixture thickens slightly.

  2. 4

    Blend the Mixture

    Using an immersion blender, blend the corn mixture until smooth and creamy. If you don't have an immersion blender, transfer to a regular blender and blend until smooth.

Warm Tortillas

  1. 5

    Warm the Tortillas

    In a dry skillet over medium heat, warm each flour tortilla for about 30 seconds on each side until soft and pliable.

Assemble

  1. 6

    Serve

    In a serving dish, pour the cheese mixture first, then top it with the cream of corn. Garnish with chopped cilantro. Serve immediately with warm flour tortillas.
