Method

Taco Filling Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Corn

    In a medium-sized pan, heat over medium heat. Add the fresh corn kernels and sauté for about 5-7 minutes until they are tender and slightly caramelized. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.

  2. 2

    Mix the Filling

    In a large bowl, combine the sautéed corn, corn nuts, pickled onions, and chopped cilantro. Squeeze lime juice over the mixture and add salt to taste. Toss gently to combine all ingredients well.

Taco Assembly

  1. 3

    Warm the Tortillas

    In a dry skillet or on a griddle, warm the corn tortillas over medium heat for about 30 seconds on each side until they are pliable.

  2. 4

    Assemble the Tacos

    Place a generous amount of the corn filling onto each tortilla. Add optional toppings like crumbled feta cheese and sliced avocado if desired.

  3. 5

    Serve

    Serve the tacos immediately with extra lime wedges on the side for squeezing.
