It's SRC time again! Each month, as part of the Secret Recipe Club, we're assigned another blogger. We get to select a recipe from their blog to recreate. This month, I got Micha from Cookin' Mimi. You might remember her from Share Your Stuff Tuesday or Inspire Me Monday. Looking through her blog, I found lots of Southern cooking. The type of stuff I'm sure James wouldn't mind me cooking more of and the types of food I feel I should be more familiar with. I debated between Southern staples like sauteed kale and even further Southern food, like taco potato wedges and corn salsa. Then, I decided to make Jalapeno Bacon Corn. Except I didn't have any fresh jalapenos. I did, however, have some chipotles, which are just smoked jalapenos, so I went with it. And with all the heat and humidity around here, I thought I'd make a chipotle bacon corn salad. Keep the yumminess, skip the cooking! Serve this as a side, or like I did - as a salad topping! This stuff really packs in a big hit of flavor, and we enjoyed it.
Do you prefer the flavor of regular jalapenos or the smoky chipotles?

This sounds delicious but I imagine it packs quite a punch with the chipotle..... Great selection.
ReplyDeleteOh yum. I've been on a chipotle kick lately and this looks amazing.
ReplyDeleteYou can never go wrong with spice and bacon! I need to make this soon!
ReplyDeleteOooh! That looks amazing! I like both chipotles and jalapenos, it just depends on my mood and what they are going in. I can see either being great in something like this!
ReplyDeleteWe are pretty equal opportunity about our peppers here. I have some jalapenos growing in my patio garden I can't wait to use fresh, but I think the substitution of chipotle peppers would add a wonderful smoky sweetness to the bacon and corn. Great choice for SRC!
ReplyDeleteIt definitely does! I didn't expect so much spiciness, but we certainly enjoyed it and hope you do too. :)
ReplyDeleteWe really enjoyed this corn salad with the chipotle! Thanks for the great inspiration. :)
ReplyDeleteDefinitely! Bacon and chipotle = yumminess. :)
ReplyDeleteI agree! I think jalapenos would make for a lighter and less spicy version, and chipotles make for a smoky and spicy version. Both yummy - just depends on what you're in the mood for. :)
ReplyDeleteSounds simple, seasonal, and delicious.
ReplyDeleteSo simple and so yummy looking! The chipotles sound like they would put a real kick in this dish. Now that's our kind of food!
ReplyDeleteOh yummy! Perfect for the delicious summer sweet corn out right now!
ReplyDeleteMy thoughts exactly! Definitely glad I made this recipe. :)
ReplyDeleteThe chipotle definitely added a smoky kick! (A little more than I expected.) :)
ReplyDeleteI just love those types of recipes, don't you? :)
ReplyDeleteWow!! This sounds fantastic!! :D What a fun pick for the SRC! :D
ReplyDeleteI bet those garden fresh jalapenos would be wonderful here! Maybe you could use a mix for some freshness and some smoky spiciness. :)
ReplyDeleteOooh.. I love all things chipotle. I have a picnic to attend in a few weeks and I think this will be one of the dishes I make for it. Great pick! I'm happy to be new the SRC this month - I'd love it if you'd stop by and check out my post.
ReplyDeleteDefinitely think this dish would be perfect for a picnic! Welcome to SRC Group B. :)
ReplyDeleteOh my gosh - I love your recipe set up with the materials list! So scientific!
ReplyDeleteLove easy recipes like this! I can't take the heat, but I know my boyfriend will love it.
ReplyDeleteI'm a fan of easy recipes too - life's too short to make complicated recipes all the time! :P You could decrease (or eliminate) the chipotle to decrease the heat. Maybe use bell peppers instead. :) Hope you and your boyfriend can both enjoy!
ReplyDeleteHaha - I did study engineering, so many moons ago! :)
ReplyDeleteThis looks really good. I would probably have to turn the heat down a little, but I like all the combos of flavor. Thanks for sharing on Merry Monday.
ReplyDeleteThe smoky chipotle really was fantastic! SRC's always fun. :)
ReplyDeleteI think I'd like it with the heat turned down a bit, but hubby's a fan of the spice. We both really liked the smokiness of the chipotles though! Definitely some yummy flavors going on. :)
