How to Make Easy Fresh Mexicorn on a Stove Top
Aunt Lou here.
This Easy Fresh Mexicorn is the perfect side for any meal with Mexican inspired flavors. The corn is flavored perfectly with the pepper, tomatoes, seasonings and pimentos, which I actually had this time, unlike when I made the crock pot version of this recipe. All of these delicious ingredients combine to give you a powerhouse of a side dish.
When making this recipe, I like to stir it continually while it is at a boil just to make sure that all the ingredients are cooking evenly. It is done when the corn reaches desired tenderness. Since it is such a short cook time, I like being right there with it, so I can know precisely when it is ready to come off the heat.
(If you would rather make this delicious recipe in the crock pot, you can find the original recipe here.)
