In preparation for a party I discovered the Chevy's Fresh Mex Sweet Corn Tomalito Recipe . I love this stuff and can't tell you how excited I was to find the recipe online. I'm sharing the link because it actually tastes like I got it from the restaurant. You know how some recipes claim to be authentic and then they taste nothing like the original. Well this one lives up to expectations.Note - the serving size for the recipe says 12 -16 but it yielded enough to fill a large soup bowl.
If you want the dish to look true to the original here's how to make the cactus. Just cut a tortilla into a cactus shape with cooking scissors. Spray with vegetable cooking spray and pop in the oven at 375 till lightly toasted. I didn't have orange tortillas on hand but that's what they use at the restaurant.
I'll make it based on your recommendation, but I am curious as to what type dish it is, having never been to that restaurant before.
ReplyDeleteIs it a side veggie dish, or a type of cornbread, or a dip? :-o
Oh man I love that stuff. Once my friend and I realized you could order a side of it for a dollar we bought 20 dollars worth and took it home, lol! Yaaay!
ReplyDeleteNice one! I like the tortilla cactus idea. Very fresh and it makes that dish special.

Oh, yum! This has been on my list to search for for ages. Chevy's is by far my favorite restaurant, and I LOVE this stuff. Thanks!
ReplyDeleteI am soooo excited to try this! We don't have Chevy's in MI but I have visited them in other states and have ALWAYS gotten the Corn Tomalito, or what I call, corn mush...Thanks for sharing the recipe!
