Southwestern Pan Seared Corn image

I light, tasty side dish that goes well with bbq ribs or chicken. If you can't find poblano peppers (find them spicy, but other people say they are not), you can use jalapeno or cubano, but mince rather than dice them, and use 1/2 the amount or to taste; or just leave out.
