Sweet Corn Flatbread with Lime Ricotta

With corn being in season, including corn in recipes tastes like summer! This recipe includes a salty citric ricotta spread, and some freshness from onion and cilantro. I like to add a little spice using Tajin and hot honey, but this part is totally optional! This recipe is perfect for an appetizer, quick lunch, or light dinner. The vibrant summer ingredients make it an amazing meal to make with that fresh corn in your fridge!

Let’s Talk about corn

Corn is one of my favorite vegetables to cook with. It is budget-friendly, tastes delicious, and is healthy for you! Corn is easy to find and has a crisp flavor when fresh in the summer!

Corn is easy to prepare. In this recipe, I write about the quickest method, which involves microwaving the corn in a damp paper towel for about a minute. However, you can also cook it by grilling the corn, or pan frying the corn to make it charred.

Corn is in season from May- September. The perfect time for some refreshing corn in summer dishes!

How to Pick the Best Corn

Look for ears of corn where the husk is tight and a brighter green. Tassels should be brown and slightly sticky. When looking at the kernels, they should look plump and not have many spaces. This will find you a juicy ear of corn!

Yummy Sides

Some sides that I think taste delicious with this are:

Watermelon
Caprese salad
Cucumber sticks and a dip
Guacamole and chips
Refried beans

Modifications for Those Picky Eaters

This recipe can be modified for children or for those who are picky eaters. Some modifications that still taste good are:

Skip Tajin
Use regular honey for some added sweetness
Swap cheese for a mild option such as cheddar cheese or mozzarella
Just corn, lime juice, and cheese make a simple and yummy combination!
