Ingredients

2 servings
Flour tortilla2 large (10 inch)
Corn2 cups kernels, fresh or thawed
Red onion1/4 medium, diced fine
Cilantro3 tbsp fresh, chopped
Lime1/2 lime, juice
Garlic1 clove, minced
Cotija cheese1/4 cup crumbled
Olive oil1.5 tbsp
Jalapeño1/2 medium, sliced or diced

Method

1

Heat a grill or cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat. Toss corn kernels with 1 tbsp olive oil, salt, and pepper.

2

Char the corn, stirring occasionally, for 8–10 minutes until kernels are blistered and golden. Transfer to a bowl.

3

In a small bowl, whisk together sour cream, lime juice, minced garlic, and a pinch of salt; set aside.

4

Warm the beans (if using) in a small saucepan over low heat with 0.5 tbsp olive oil, salt, and pepper; keep warm.

5

Warm tortillas in a dry skillet or over an open flame for 20–30 seconds per side until pliable.

6

Lay a warm tortilla on a flat surface. Spread 2 tbsp crema down the center, leaving a 2-inch border on all sides.

7

Layer half the warm beans or cooked protein, half the charred corn, half the red onion, and half the cilantro over the crema.

8

Fold the sides of the tortilla inward, then roll tightly from the bottom toward the top, keeping the filling secure. Repeat with the second tortilla.

9

Transfer burritos to a serving plate. Top with cotija cheese, sliced jalapeño, and remaining cilantro. Serve warm with extra crema on the side.
