Chevys Sweet Corn Tomalito
By Todd Wilbur

Recipe Rating: 5.0 (4 reviews)
 

Other Mexican food chains such as Chi-Chis and El Torito call it "Sweet Corn Cake." But at Chevys, the corn-filled, pudding-like stuff that's served with most entrees is known as "Tomalito." That masa harina in there corn flour is whats used to make tamales, and it can be found in your supermarket either with the corn meal and flour, or wherever the other Mexican/Spanish items are stocked. Everything else here is basic stuff. While other corn cake recipes may require canned corn or canned cream-style corn, Chevys "no cans in the kitchen" commandment requires that we use frozen corn for a proper clone. Of course, you may also use corn that's been cut fresh from the cob, if you're up for the task.

4 cups frozen corn, thawed
1/3 cup butter, softened
