(from castro15’s recipe box)

Categories: Mexican

Ingredients

  • 8.25 oz. can creamed corn
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 2/3 cup cornmeal
  • 1 tbsp. unsalted butter
  • 1/2 cup shredded Jack cheese
  • Fillings of your choice: shredded rotisserie chicken or pork, beans, shredded lettuce, extra cheese, chopped tomatoes, sliced radishes, sour cream, guacamole

Directions

  1. Preheat the oven to 400.

  2. In a saucepan over medium heat, combine the corn, salt, and 1/2 cup water. Whisk in the cornmeal and cook, stirring constantly, until the liquid is absorbed, about 5 minutes.

  3. Add the butter and cheese, stirring to combine. Remove from heat.

  4. Grease a 6-cup muffin tin. Divide the corn mixture evenly among the cups, pressing it into the bottom and up the sides to create cups.

  5. Bake until crisp, 20-25 minutes. Let cool for 5 minutes, then turn the corn cups out of the tin.

  6. Stuff them with the fillings of your choice and serve.
