Easy Southwest Fried Corn
This dish is best prepared in a well-seasoned cast iron skillet. It really lends a wonderful flavor to the corn. Also, the corn is best with as little liquid as possible without letting the stuff stick.
Ingredients
2 cans whole kernel corn, fully drained
1 cup finely chopped white onion
1 can diced Ro-Tel tomatoes
1/4 tsp. salt
1 tsp. Tabasco sauce
2 TBSP olive oil
Freshly ground black pepper
Directions
- Heat the oil over medium heat.
- Add the onion, sautee for a while until tender.
- Add desired amount of Ro-Tel. I like to use half a can. Sautee until the tomato pieces get darker. Stir often.
- When it's all softened and cooked, add the salt. Keep stirring. Then add the corn.
- At this point the mixture should be frying up really nice. Not too much oil or liquid in the skillet. After a few minutes add the Tabasco and black pepper.
- Serve hot and sizzling. A great side dish for some chicken or steak.
Serves 4-5 people

I had to substitute out two tablespoonfuls of prepared salsa for the Ro-Tel (we can't seem to get it here). This worked pretty well, though I am a Yankee and may simply not know any better.
