Ingredients

  • 3 large ears sweet corn, shucked
  • 2 medium poblano peppers
  • 3 tablespoons mayonnaise
  • 2 teaspoons freshly squeezed lime juice
  • 2 cloves garlic
  • 1 pound pizza dough
  • Cornmeal, as needed
  • 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
  • 2 cups shredded low-moisture part-skim mozzarella cheese
  • ¼ cup sour cream
  • ¼ teaspoon chili powder
  • ½ cup crumbled Cotija cheese
  • ¼ cup packed cilantro leaves

Instructions

  • Place pizza stone on a grill or in the oven and heat to 500ºF (260ºC).
  • Set the ears of corn and poblano peppers over a gas burner on high heat (or on the grill). Roast until the poblano and corn are charred all over, turning occasionally, about 6 minutes.
  • After roasting the poblanos, carefully peel off the charred skin, then remove the stem and seeds and dice the pepper. Cut the kernels off the cob.
  • Add the pepper and corn kernels to a medium mixing bowl and toss with mayo, lime juice and garlic until combined and set aside.
  • Divide the dough in half and on a lightly floured surface, working one half at a time, press out each half of the dough into a 10” circle. The dough should be fairly thin. Generously spread cornmeal over the pizza peel then add the dough on top.
  • Work one pizza at a time. Use a pizza peel to slide the dough onto the pizza stone. Rub half the olive oil over the dough and cook until the crust is a pale brown and bubbly, about 6 minutes.
  • Top with mozzarella cheese and half the corn mixture. Return to the oven until the crust is golden brown and slightly charred in spots and the cheese has melted, about 6 minutes.
  • Garnish with the sour cream, chili powder, cotija and cilantro. Cut into slices and serve.
