Scale

Instructions
Step 1: Roast the Poblano Pepper

- Peel off the charred skin, remove the seeds, and finely chop the pepper.
Step 2: Prepare the Corn
- If using fresh corn, remove the kernels from the cob using a sharp knife.
- If using frozen corn, make sure it’s fully thawed and drained.
- Optionally, char the corn in a skillet over medium heat for a smoky flavor.

Step 5: Let the Flavors Meld
