MEXICAN STREET CORN PASTA

Steps:

• Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil over high heat. Add the pasta and cook according to package directions until al dente. Reserve 1 cup of the cooking water then drain the pasta. Return the pasta to the pot and toss with a little olive oil to prevent the pasta from sticking together.
• While the pasta is cooking, cook the bacon in a large frying pan over medium heat until crispy. Remove from the pan and crumble when it's cool enough to touch.
• Remove all but 2 tablespoons of the bacon oil from the pan. Increase the heat to medium-high then add the corn and stir so that it is coated in the oil then let it cook undisturbed for 4-5 minutes, or until some of the kernels become golden on the bottom. Add the white and light green parts of the green onions, chili powder, pepper, and salt to the pan and stir.
• Add the black beans and cherry tomatoes to the pan and cook until they're warm. Add the sour cream and mayonnaise and stir until warm, about 1 minute.
• Add the corn sauce to the pot with the pasta and add the cilantro, cheese, and lime juice. Stir well then season to taste with more salt and pepper, if needed. If the pasta seems a little too thick, use some of the reserved pasta water to loosen it.

SAUTéED CORN, GREENS, BACON AND SCALLIONS

Steps:

• Cook bacon in a large skillet over medium-low heat, turning occasionally, until browned and crisp, about 10 minutes. Transfer to paper towels to drain; pour off all but a teaspoon of fat from the skillet.
• Add butter and melt. Add shallot (and carrot, if using) and adjust heat; vegetables should sizzle, but not scorch. Cook, stirring, about 2 minutes. Add corn, peppers and pepper flakes and let sizzle, stirring occasionally, 5 minutes. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Crumble bacon and add to skillet with scallions. Add greens two cups at a time, stirring to wilt before adding more. Cook together 1 minute and serve hot.

PINTO BEANS AND CORN

Steps:

• Combine all of the ingredients in a large saucepan or steep-sided stir-fry pan and bring to a simmer. Cover and simmer gently over low heat for 15 minutes. Serve in shallow bowls.
• These related varieties are most widely used in Mexican and Southwestern dishes. Pink beans are slightly smaller and rounder than pintos, which are speckled when raw but turn a warm brown when cooked. Their mellow flavors are similar, so they may be used interchangeably. Both cook to a fine, creamy texture.
• Pink and pinto beans combine nicely with rice or corn, either hot and spiced as a main dish, or cold and marinated as a salad.
• Often used in burritos, enchiladas, and similar tortilla dishes, the flavor of these beans is enhanced by garlic, green chilies, cilantro, cumin, and oregano.
