Yield Makes 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 8.25-ounce can creamed corn
1/2 teaspoon salt
2/3 cup cornmeal
1 tablespoon unsalted butter
1/2 cup queso añejo (or Jack cheese)
Filling of choice:
Shredded rotisserie chicken (or cooked pork), beans, shredded lettuce, extra cheese, chopped tomatoes, sliced radish, sour cream, guacamole

Steps:

  • 1. Preheat oven to 400°F.
  • 2. In a saucepan over medium heat, combine the corn, salt, and 1/2 cup water. Whisk in the cornmeal and cook, stirring constantly, until the liquid is absorbed, about 5 minutes.
  • 3. Add the butter and cheese, stirring to combine. Remove from heat.
  • 4. Grease a 6-cup muffin tin. Divide the corn mixture evenly among the cups, pressing it into the bottom and up the sides to create cups.
  • 5. Bake until crisp, 20 to 25 minutes. Let cool for 5 minutes, then turn the corn cups out of the tin.
  • 6. Stuff them with the fillings of your choice and serve.
