Instructions
- Heat a gas or charcoal grill to medium high heat.
- Oil grill grates with vegetable oil. For Mexican Street Corn, use 1 tablespoon of melted butter to brush over corn.
- Place on grill and cover.
- Grill for 8-10 minutes or until char marks appear, turning every 2-3 minutes.
- Remove corn and cool before cutting off of cob.
- Place remaining butter in a large skillet over medium heat.
- Add corn. Cook for 2 minutes. Stir in remaining ingredients. Heat through.
- Remove from heat. Cover and keep warm.
- For Sopapilla Buns, heat 1/2 Cup of oil in a 10-inch skillet over medium high heat. Fry two rounds at a time for 15-20 seconds per side or until golden brown, turning once. Remove to paper towels to drain.
- Repeat for remaining rounds, adding 1/4 Cup of oil at a time as needed to fry rounds. While rounds are frying, make patties by placing ground chuck, taco seasoning, salsa, salt, and pepper together in a large bowl. Work together with clean hands just until evenly combined. Divide and shape into six 5-inch patties.
