Ingredients

  • 4 large flour tortillas
  • 1 cup sweet corn (fresh, frozen, or canned)
  • 1 ½ cups shredded cheddar cheese
  • ¼ cup fresh cilantro, chopped
  • ½ teaspoon garlic powder
  • ½ teaspoon cumin
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • ½ cup salsa, for serving
  • Olive oil or cooking spray, for greasing

How to Make Corn and Cheese Burritos

  1. In a medium bowl, combine the sweet corn, shredded cheddar cheese, chopped cilantro, garlic powder, cumin, salt, and pepper. Mix until well combined.
  2. Warm the flour tortillas in a skillet over medium heat for about 30 seconds on each side, or until pliable.
  3. Lay one tortilla flat and spoon about ¼ of the corn and cheese mixture in the center.
  4. Fold the sides of the tortilla over the filling, then roll it up tightly from the bottom to the top. Repeat with the remaining tortillas and filling.
  5. In the same skillet, add a little olive oil or cooking spray and place the burritos seam-side down. Cook for 2-3 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and crispy.
  6. Serve warm with salsa on the side for dipping.

Tips for the Best Results

  • Make sure to warm the tortillas before filling to prevent tearing.
  • Don’t overfill the tortillas; about ½ cup of filling works perfectly.
  • For extra flavor, consider adding diced jalapeños or black beans to the filling.

Easy Variations

  • Swap out cheddar for pepper jack cheese for a spicy kick.
  • Add cooked chicken or ground beef for a heartier meal.
  • Use whole wheat tortillas for a healthier option.

What to Serve With It

  • A fresh green salad with a zesty vinaigrette.
  • Guacamole and tortilla chips for a crunchy side.
  • Mexican rice or quinoa for a more filling meal.

Storage and Reheating

Store any leftover burritos in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, place them in a skillet over medium heat until warmed through or microwave for about 1 minute. For a crispy texture, reheating in the skillet is recommended.
