Easy, Deliciously Cheesy Sauteed Corn, Mexican Style image

Surprisingly, this is a pretty low-cal side dish! I made this last night when I just didn't know what to eat! I knew I felt "cheesy", and there was loads of corn at home, but I didn't feel up to an elaborate recipe, so I put this together and topped this dish over pita bread for a great dinner!

Time 7m

Yield 1 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 6

1/2 cup frozen corn kernels or 1/2 cup fresh corn kernels
1 -2 tablespoon salsa (use your favourite)
1 tablespoon water
1/8 teaspoon cumin
1/8 teaspoon dried oregano
17 1/2 g plain cheese spread (I use one "triangle" of Laughing Cow Cheese Spread)

Steps:

  • Dump the first 5 ingredients (corn to oregano) in a medium saucepan, stir well, and saute on a high flame for about 5 minutes or until most of the liquid has been absorbed or evaporated.
  • Now reduce the flame to low and add the cheese spread, and swirl it around with the sauteed corn with a wooden spoon until melted and well mixed.
  • Serve hot, on bread, or over mashed potatoes, or with just about anything else!
  • It's so yummy, you eat it straight.
