Mexican Broccoli
This roasted Mexican broccoli is an incredibly delicious side dish that packs in Mexican inspired flavors, and comes together in just minutes!
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoon oil
- ½ cup onion finely chopped
- 1 jalapeño finely chopped
- ½ cup corn kernels
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 4 garlic cloves minced
- 1 tomato chopped
- 1 teaspoon cumin powder
- 1 broccoli cut into florets
- salt to taste
- ½ teaspoon pepper
Instructions
- Heat the oil in a saucepan and add the onion and garlic and saute for a minute. Now add the chopped bell pepper and corn and cook for 3-5 minutes.
- Next, add the broccoli, tomatoes, jalapenos and spices and cook on medium heat until the broccoli reaches the desired tenderness.
- Transfer to a large bowl and top with a squeeze of lemon juice.
- Serve this as a side to any of your favorite Mexican foods.
Notes
- In addition to the broccoli and other ingredients, you can also add some red peppers, avocado and black beans into the Mexican broccoli dish.
- If you want the dish to be less spicy, you can remove the seeds from the jalapenos before you add them into the mix.
- In contrast, if you want some extra spice, you can use serrano peppers instead of jalapenos.
- You can also top this Mexican broccoli with some Queso Fresco or Cotija cheese if you don’t have dietary restrictions. If you don’t have either of these Mexican cheeses, some Parmesan cheese can do the trick too.
