Ingredients

Directions

  • Heat oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add poblano pepper, bell pepper and corn, and cook, stirring occasionally, until just tender, 3 to 5 minutes.

Tips

Ingredient Note: Hominy is white or yellow corn that has been treated with lime to remove the tough hull and germ. Dried, ground hominy is the main ingredient in grits. Canned, cooked hominy can be found in the Mexican or canned-vegetable section of large supermarkets--near the beans.

Yummy I changed it just a little. I was unable to get Poblano peppers so I added fire roasted chiles. I also added some El Yucateco (Green Habanero Hot Sauce). Tasted great. I think I will add some black beans next time. Read More

Loved it. I really do like corn but wasn't sure how I felt about hominy. The flavors with the pepper and chili powder are great. The next time I make it I plan to use a little cilantro. Read More
