Ingredients
- 3 ears corn (or 2 cups frozen corn kernels)
- 2 tbsp vegetable oil
- 2 garlic cloves, finely chopped
- 2 tbsp mayonnaise
- 1 lime, juiced, plus lime wedges to serve
- 4 spring onions, finely sliced
- ½ cup finely shredded coriander
- ½ cup finely crumbled feta
- 2-3 cups grated mozzarella
- 1 jalapeno chilli (or large green chilli), seeds removed and finely chopped
- ¼ tsp chilli powder, or to taste
- 12 flour tortillas
Instructions
- Strip the kernels from the corn by holding it vertically on a board and running a knife down the length of the cob. Heat a large frying pan over medium heat and add 1 tablespoon of the oil. Add the corn kernels and fry without stirring until blackened on one side. Add the garlic, stir and fry for a further minute or two until the corn is cooked. Use a lid to partially cover the pan to stop the corn from jumping out of the pan as it cooks.
- Transfer the corn into a large bowl and add the mayonnaise, lime juice, spring onions, coriander, cheeses, chilli and chilli powder. Mix to combine. Take about 3 tablespoons of the mixture and place it onto tortilla. Spread it out and cover with another tortilla. Repeat with the remaining mixture and tortillas.
- Return the pan to medium heat and add about a teaspoon of oil. Add the tortilla “sandwich” to the pan and press down lightly. Fry for about 2 minutes per side, or until the tortilla is toasted and the cheese melted. Repeat for the remaining tortillas and filling. Cut into wedges and serve with lime.
