Number Of Ingredients 11

2 ears fresh corn

4 stalks green onion, chopped
½ medium red bell pepper, chopped

½ cup crumbled cotija cheese
½ medium lime, juiced
1 tablespoon thinly sliced fresh basil or basil chiffonade

Steps:

  • Place corn directly on the middle rack of the preheated oven and roast for 30 minutes. Remove from the oven and let sit for 5 minutes. Remove and discard husks and silk. Slice kernels off with a knife.
  • While the corn is roasting, place couscous in a heat-proof bowl with green onion, bell pepper, jalapeno, and olive oil.
  • Bring chicken stock to a boil in a small saucepan. Pour boiling stock over couscous mixture and cover tightly with foil. Let sit for 5 minutes.
  • Uncover and stir in roasted corn kernels, cotija cheese, lime juice, and basil. Season with chili-lime seasoning.
