Servings: 10 people
Equipment
- 2 Spatulas
Ingredients
- 1 Lb thick cut bacon diced
- 2 lbs frozen corn
- 1 Tbsp diced garlic 3 cloves
- 1/4 cup cilantro chopped
- 2 limes
- Salt and pepper or Tajin seasoning
- Cojita Mexican crumbling cheese

Instructions
- Make sure you dice up your bacon before putting it on the griddle.
- Preheat griddle to 375-400 degrees.
- Place bacon on the griddle while it is preheating. Cook it until it’s crispy, tossing regularly.
- Scrape off most of the bacon grease, then add the frozen corn. Toss the corn, coating it in bacon grease then spread it out and let it sit for 3 minutes.
- Flip the corn and cook the other side for another 3 to 5 minutes.
- Turn off the griddle then add your Tajin seasoning and chopped cilantro. Mix it all together and remove it from the griddle.
- Top it with the queso fresco, Mexican Crema, Cheetos, lime and hot sauce.
- This was also great with tortilla chips. I would substitute that instead of Cheetos next time.
- This is great as a side dish for taco night on the griddle.
