Tonight's Dinner: Chipotle Pollo Wings Maíz Callejero Mexicano [Mexican Street Corn] Ensalada el Grande Tonight's Dinner inspiration happened as I made an early evening trip through the Produce section of my neighborhood Kroger's store in search of salad fixings. This 6:30pm excursion found the produce guys hurriedly pulling, marking down, and restocking for the Saturday rush. I scored seriously discounted greens and things -- chef salad bowls, bag of baby spinach, fresh hulled English peas, organic minced cauliflower, ginger & garlic stir-fry mixed veggie kit, and the Mexican Street Corn Roasting kit! I've been a bit ticked that fresh corn has been from 75c to $1 per ear the pas weeks, but these street vendor style Mexican roasted corn kits with 4 husked ears corn, cup of Crema (Mexican sour cream), spice packet, and a large packet of a shredded hard Mexican cheese ... but their regular price is $7.99/kit ... but this evening the kits were on super sale for just $2.00!!! Well if'n nothing else I was getting fresh shucked corn for just 50c/ear and I could've used the Crema, spices, and cheese to make something else entirely unrelated to the corn ... but I thought why not! And set about Roasting the corn in the microwave while I also roasted a package of Chicken wings that I tossed liberally in taco spices and cooked in the convection airfryer oven for 15 minutes. While corn and wings cooked I whipped up a large salad with extra sweet tiny grape tomatoes and cubes of cucumber dressed in bleu cheese. After zapping corn for 3 minutes, I rolled it about 120°, recovered the ears, and zapped it again, and repeated so corn was cooked on all sides. Then I screwed in the cob grippers, slathered them in Crema, sprinkled the corn with the spices and cheese. #TonightsDinner #Chipotle #Pollo #Chicken #Wings #Mexican #Street #Corn #maíz #callejero #mexicano #Ensalada #salad
