Corn Ceviche

Grilled chicken breast with a side of grilled corn and green peppers

When the sun’s high and the grill’s hot, this Corn Ceviche comes in like a breeze off the Gulf—cool, crisp, and just the right amount of kick. We’re talkin’ fresh-off-the-cob sweet corn (half charred, half raw for that flavor balance), tossed with shallots, smoky poblanos, zesty lime, and a couple jalapeños or Fresnos—depending on how wild you're feelin’.

Add a little cotija if you’re into that salty finish, or keep it clean and simple. Either way, this dish plays nice with seafood, pork, chicken, or a big ol’ spoon straight from the bowl.

It’s light. It’s fresh. It’s got that Texas attitude without trying too hard.

Back porch tested. Tailgate ready. Let’s eat.
