Chipotle Caesar Brussels Sprouts

• 3 cups brussels sprouts
• 4 Tbsp. La Preferida Olive Oil
• 1 Tbsp. La Preferida Taco Seasoning or Organic Taco Seasoning
• 1 can La Preferida Whole Kernel Corn (15 oz.)
• ¼ cup shredded purple cabbage
• ¼ cup cilantro, chopped
• ¼ cup queso fresco
• 1 tsp. black pepper

Ingredients: Caesar Dressing

• 2 Tbsp. La Preferida Chipotle Peppers, blended
• 6 oz. Caesar dressing (your choice)

Ingredients: Croutons

• 3 yellow corn tortillas
• ½ cup La Preferida Olive Oil
• 1 tsp. La Preferida Taco Seasoning

Preheat oven to 350º

In a bowl, toss brussels sprouts with 4 Tbsp. of olive oil, black pepper, and 1 Tbsp. of taco seasoning until well coated. Roast in oven for 15 minutes.

After 5 minutes, remove brussels sprouts from the oven but keep oven on. Drain and rinse corn. Place corn on baking sheet and place back in the oven — roast for 10 minutes.

In a blender, add chipotle peppers and Caesar dressing — blend until smooth.

Slice cabbage into thin strips, crumble queso fresco, and chop cilantro — set aside.

In a pan, heat a ½ cup of olive oil over low heat. Cut tortillas into strips and toss to separate. Gently place in oil to avoid a splash, stirring occasionally until crispy. Remove pan from heat and move tortillas to a paper towel to remove excess oil. While warm, toss tortilla strips with 1 tsp. of taco seasoning.

Remove brussels sprouts from the oven and allow them to cool for 2 minutes. In a bowl, toss brussels sprouts with chipotle caesar dressing, corn, and cabbage. Serve with tortilla croutons and top with queso fresco.
