Fiesta Corn (or maybe you know it as Confetti Corn or Corn Dip) is made from roasted fresh corn, lots of fresh veggies, and gets a tangy zest from fresh lime juice. It can be served as a dip with tortilla or corn chips, a side salad, or even as a salsa served with grilled meat. How would you serve your Fiesta Corn??Fiesta CornI make mine with fresh grilled corn, but if you prefer, or don’t have the time to grill the corn, you could substitute with frozen corn. Simply heat a large skillet, drizzle a bit of olive oil, and “toast” the corn to lightly char the kernels. Given the choice, I always will choose to grill fresh corn. In fact, it’s the only way we eat our corn on the cob now!!

All husked, seasoned and ready for the grill: Fiesta CornGrill the corn over med/high heat, turning it often, for approximately 15 minutes. Cooking time will vary based on the heat of your grill. 

Just look how delicious this corn looks!!Fiesta CornWhile the corn is grilling, prep your veggies. Give them all a small dice, especially the jalapeño.
