4
Shred chicken when cooled.

5
While chicken is cooking, sauté chopped onion and minced garlic in avocado oil and add the riced cauliflower to a skillet.
6
Season cauliflower with Adobe, salt and a little chili powder. You can spice this to taste. Add 1/4 cup vegetable broth
7
Remove cauliflower from pan when it is steamed and liquid is absorbed. Consistency should be fluffy.. like rice.
8
Clean pan and add remaining oil to pan. Sauté onion and garlic until soft. Add sliced mushrooms and spinach. You can really add any vegetables in this step. I season with garlic powder and Adobe.

Once vegetables are cooked through, transfer to a bowl and sautée chopped scallions and garlic in avocado oil. Add drained black beans and packet of Sazon. Add 1/3 cup of vegetable broth. As beans soften I smashed with a spatula. (You can omit this step and use a can of refried beans as well.) Cook until liquid is absorbed.
10
Transfer beans to a bowl and sauté drained corn in the hot pan. Add oregano and a little salt. This is just a quick sauté to heat and crisp corn.
11
In a separate pan sauté enchilada sauce. You can make your own sauce for this step of you have tomato sauce on hand and Mexican spices. I will add a link for this recipe. Otherwise I like to use an organic red enchilada sauce.

Corn Potage Soup Made With Fresh Corn

Corn Potage Soup Made With Fresh Corn

Every year in the summertime, we receive a lot of corn as gifts from acquaintances. But I'm not very fond of the texture of the corn kernels, so I always end up making corn potage soup with it. When corn is not in season, I use store bought corn paste instead of fresh corn, but the intensity of the color, flavor, and sweetness is just not the same!! Use corn as soon as possible after picking. Any more than 3 days after harvest, and the flavor is not so good anymore. What we do at my house is to at boil all the fresh corn cobs, wrap them in plastic wrap and put them in the refrigerator. Alternatively you can remove the kernels and freeze. This year we received 22 ears of corn! We add potatoes only when we've got some that need to be used up, the soup is fine with out them too. Recipe by Ayako
