👨‍🍳 Instructions

1. 1Remove the husk from the corn ear and grill or roast each corn until the kernels are well roasted and brown. Then set them aside.
2. 2Now, heat 1 tablespoon of oil in a pan on medium heat. Add onions, jalapeño and garlic and cook for 2 minutes until the onions soften a bit. Then add the peppers and cook 3 more minutes, stirring often. With help of a serrated knife, remove the kernels from the corn ear and add them to the pan as well.
3. 3Add taco seasoning and salt and mix until combined. Also, add cilantro and lime juice and the corn filling for the tacos is ready. Set this aside and make the crema.
4. 4To make the spicy crema, add sour cream, chipotle pepper and adobo sauce (from a can of chipotle peppers in adobo sauce), garlic, lime juice, salt and honey to a blender and blend until you have a smooth sauce.
5. 5Prepare all the toppings- chop the cilantro, green onion. Mash 1 avocado using a fork, add salt and pepper to taste. Then heat up the corn tortilla, by placing them on direct heat until they are a little charred. Make the tacos by adding the filling to the tortilla and then top with mashed avocado, cilantro, green onions, feta cheese, jalapeño. Drizzle with the spicy crema and serve immediately.
