Closet Cooking

Cooking adventures in a small, closet sized, kitchen. - I came to realize that my meals were boring and that I had been eating the same few dishes over and over again for years. It was time for a change! I now spend my free time searching for, creating and trying tasty new recipes in my closet sized kitchen.

Roasted Corn Queso Fundido

[heart_this] · Sep 12, 2016 · 11 Comments

Roasted Corn Queso Fundido

A hot melted cheese dip filled sweet roasted corn!

With the new game season starting I have been thinking about snacks to enjoy while watching the game! With it still being summer it’s the perfect time of year to be incorporating some of the amazing fresh produce that is around and I was thinking that a combination of elote (Mexican style street corn) and queso fundido (a hot melted cheese dip) would be a fabulous combination! To keep this recipe nice and simple, and to only use one pan, I charred the corn in cast iron skillet rather than grilling it. Charring it like this gives it that nice slightly smokey flavour while lightly caramelizing the corn to bring out it’s natural sweetness. I add onion, peppers and jalapenos for a bit of flavour, colour and bit of heat. Once the corn is done you mix in plenty of cheese along with some mayo and lime juice to round out the flavours of the street corn and you cook it until the cheese is nice and melted, ooey, gooey and good! This roasted corn queso fundido is the perfect hot melted cheese dip to enjoy while watching the football game or any other time! (I like to eat it for dinner sometimes!)
